SUMMARY: (Ewer eonciee summary of report Glee significance in Anal one-ventance paragraph, List inciowuree ot tower left. Begin text of report ow AP Form 11t—Part 11.)

1. The folowing is an account of an observat ion of an unidentified aerial
object sighted from a position of 33° 53' 30° N, 117° 15' 30" W, at approximately
0350 GCT, 14 October 1950. The sighting was made by a USAF officer-navigator during
a period of celestial navigation.

“a. Number : Mme

b. Shape +: Round, similar to that of a planet.

c. Sise +: Approximately that of a planet.

d. Color : Luminous, bright red, unsteady in intensity, somewhat similar

to an aircraft's exhaust flame.

e. Speed : Undetermined, but appeared to be great.

f,. Heading : 180° true course.

tion thereof known to witness.

h. Altitude: Undetermined, but appeared to be at a very great altitude as

i. Sound : None.

3. Exhaust trail: None."

but slight haze and slight surface fog. Surface winds and winds aloft were not deter—

altitude, the high speed and erratic movements of the object would suggest that it was
other than a conventional type aircraft.

reports having observed a similar object.

4. Apparent confirmation of the observation is furnished by a USAF sergeant who
