An unidentified aerial object was sichted at 2115 hours UST on|i2 Yay 109241
avout LO miles west of bopealts New Hoste 0. The object was blue-creen {n color and
its e . avove the n was 30,000 to 0,000 feet. The object

traveled three times over approximately the same triangular course. ate of speed

could«not be precisely estimated out was faster than that of jet aircraft. MInten-

sity of colbr brightness varied with the objects altitude.

This sighting is similar to many woich have recently been noted in the press,

1. The object at first appeared to be a star, but after a few minutes Sth. Bare
noticed that its blue-green color changed in intensity from very bright to dim. The
object oursued a definite course, which it repeated three times while Sst. Baro was
watching it. ‘then the object was first sighted it appeared to be about 20,000 or
30,000 fect above the mountains at Ruidoso, New Mexico. It aopeared to have two mo-
tions;' one, a swaying movement -from South to North, the other, the South to North track
of the route it was following. The object then climbed almost perpendicularly to the
terrain to between 0,000 and 50,000 feet, and then descended at an angle of 25 de-
grees, to its original altitude. This cycle was repeated twice for a total of 3 cycles
The speed of the object appeared to be faster than a jet type aircraft, but its exact
speed could not be precisely estimated. Sgt. Bare could not estimate the lencth of
the object's various courses, or the length of time that it remained on amy one course,
or altitude. The color of the object was a dlue-creen while traveling straight and
level and then changed rapidly to a bright bluishegreen while climbing or descending.
hile climbing the objects shape apoeared to bo that of a disc.

2. The object was first sighted at 205 LST and remained under observation for
about 25 minutes.

3. The object was observed visually by Sgt. Bare from the ground. He had no
‘| type of lenses or glasses for aid. ;

lL. At the time of the observation Sgt. Bare was standing at the corner of Sth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in Roswell, New Mexico. The object was first sighted
about 0 or 50 miles due west of Roswell at 20,000 or 30,000 feet over the mountains
at Ruidoso, New Mexico. Roswell cocrdinates: 33 20 N / 104 30 W.

5. T/Scts Bare is considered to be a reliable and intelligent individual by his
Squadron Commander and immediate supervisors. Sct. Bare has eight years service in
the USAF and is-a Be29 Maintenance Specialist.

6. A check of the weather stations at Walker Air Force Base and Roswell Munici-—
pal Airvort reveals the following teletype sequences at 2030 hours LST:

RSW (‘falker AFB) - 250015 093/78/31 * 7/998/4030087 21,906
ROW (Roswell) -— 700200004 § Q=J0S..

7. There was no known msteorological or other phenomenon which might account
for the sichting. A check of Walker AFB radar reveals nothing unusual on the scope

at the time of the sighting. It is unknown whether the setting was on the 25 or 50
mile scan. . ; ;

_. & There is no physical evidence of the sighting such as photographs of the -
sighting. et *

9. Interception or identification action by the observer was not feasivdle at
the tine.

On Monday, 12 May 1952, during the period 2045 = 2110 hours MST, I-
was sitting in a car at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 5th
Street in Roswell, New liexico. As TI glanced out of the car to the west
I observed a very bright glowing ooject in the sky. The object seemed to
be at an altitude of abcut 25,000 feet over the mountains east of Ruidoso,

New Hosioe, oe 50 miles west of Rosvell. -
Sa the ga at first aopeared to be a star, but  aheee a fen witttes 1
| noticed that its blue-green color rapidly changed in intensity from very
' bright to dim,

The object pursued a definite course, which it reveated turee times
while I was watching it. ‘hen I first saw the object it appeared to be at
20,000 or 30,000 feet above the mountains. It acpeared to have two
motions: one, a swaying movement from South to North, the other a movement
across the terrain from South to North. The odject then climbed almost
perpendicularly to the terrain to between 40,000 to 50,000 feet, and then
descended, at an anule of 25 degrees, to its original altitude, This cycle
was repeated twice, for a total of three cycles, The speed of the object
was faster than a jet, but I could nct estimate its speed more precisely.
Neither could I estimate the lenzth of the object's various courses, nor.
the Length of time that it remained on any one course or altitude.

The color of the object changed pacidly from dim blue-creen while
traveling straight and level to a very bricht bluish-sreen while climbing
and descending, The object's shave anpeared to be that of a disc,
