BP agg EER SSS. Aircraft Control and Warning

Squadron, APO 970 make the following statement concerning the sishting of a

~ pil

unidentified aerial object during the morning hours of 31 Kay 1952.
On the morning of 31 May 1952 st about 0400 hours the guard on post $6 called

me by field telephone and called my attention to a bright object in the sky
North east of my position, At this time I was on guard duty at Post #4. It seemed

like a falling star at first. My post was about 100 feet above the camp which is

at approximately 2000 feet above sealevel in elevation, The object stopped falling
at about 2000 feet and went straight back up to about 3000 to 4000 feet, It started |
its fall first from approximately 3600 feet, The object started to head toward

the East for about one half mile, then it stopped and reversed it's course and
headed back to the Northeast in a smooth flight at a speed of about 100 to 150 miles

per hour. Then it reversed it's heading once again in a Hastward direction and

started to climb at a 45 degree angle away from my position. As it headed sway it
picked up speed in a jerking motion and then faded from sight. The facts stated
in this statement ere all trua to the best of my knowledge,

STATEMENT

1 June 1952

deg ee. 607: Aircra't Control and

Warning Squadron, APO 970 make the following statement concerning the

sighting of a unidentified aerlel object during the morning hours of
31 May 1952.
On the morning of 31 May 1952 I was standing guard duty when I

heard a jet in the North. It had a pulsating sound, like it was idling.

I couldn't seo anything at first but in a few seconds a small light
appeared at about 3500 feet, Ithouzht a helicopter was hovering there
with a light on one side and had turned that side to me, The light
began dropping at a very slow rate and getting larger as it dropped.
As it got larger it took on a glow. It stopped falling at about 2600
feet altitude and it took the form of a disk.

The center was duller in color in respect with the rim which was much
brighter.

The object started moving to the Bast. It seemed to me to be moving
with short jerky movements, It moved a ways and changed direction. The
chengs seemed to be instantaneous, It started moving West. It traveled
West but not as far as the point from where it had first started moving to
the Fast. Again it changed direction and again the change appeared to be
instantaneous, It started heading East again. It was climbing at an ansle
of approximately 25 degrees. It traveled Fast for a while and started
climbing into the North at an angle of approximately 45 dezrees, It kept

climbing until I could no longer see it, or rather it just faded out. I

Attention: Captein “. J. Ruppelt

Centlemen;:

For some time I heve personally been deeply intsrested
in the mystery posed by the unidentific d serial Objects
commonly known as "flying seucers." Berinnine lest
November & froup of us intcrest2d in this problem
orranized © unified civilien rese>reh unit und:r the
name of the Extra-Terrestrial Reszarch Orrxnizetion.
Since lest November We hav: ineressed our mimbership
from 8 to just under 100 members. . These embers ere
<3 veryine beckerounds &nd occup: “tions. They are

cettered thronchnout over 20 states of th: United
states. @ provinces of Canada, Cuba, snrelend, Frence,
Hawaii, «end Alaske.

AS @ result of the limited research we héeve been «ble
to undertaks, we héve in our files at least 5 reports
of unidentified objects thst are of th: "fLlyinc- stucer"
eaterory and that we know sre definitely not in Oper-
ation Bluebook files. In addition, we hive received
reports from our Yuropean mzmbers covering 76 Ruropvean
sishtines of unidentified objects similr to thoes vou
are presently inv: Stigatins. These sightinces dsic

from September 26, 1869 to July 16, 1952.

To give an 2xample of the tine of reports We rerard &s
reliable end worthy of resl anslysis, I would likes to
eive the followine, which may or ray not b: in Air

Foree files.

At 2:25 pom. Jastern Daylicht Tim: on tay 18, 1¢
in Iakevood, Ohio, @ suburb of Clevelend, ur: <a
Ae conduc: :

wes talkine to l'rs. P my mother, The

Sky was a beautiful bive without © cloud in sirht.

Mrs. QM wes standine on her beck poren (firet floor):
lookinre up et my mothe; who was in our upsteirs bed-
room. The anrl: of eglevetion was ayproximately A5 de-
grees from ‘rs .q@Porch to the top of our roof.

—_—_ —— —-—  -——

Suddenly urs. who lecks four eredit hours of
receiving her Iaster's de-ree in Mathematies from
Denison University, pointed to the Sky just above our
roof. She described an ere with hor finger before

She was able to blurt out the word,"Saucer3" As snh2
told me later, it wes the most natural thine for her

to say--that was the word best fitted to describe the
situation in a nutshell--in Spite of the fect th t she
led been quite skeptical of previous reports, tty
mother, knowing that I had been quite interzst:d in
such phenomena, immedistely called down +5 the basement
Where I hed been working on some equipment for my
amateur radio station. About three Seconds letoer I

was outside, but by thet time the object hed disappeared,
I immediately beran cettine data from Mrs. Janne. The

followin: revresents the data rath:red and calculstions
based upon it.

. ire. Gee. a Pound object, resembling an ellips:,
appea m behind our roof. It was the Size of &
dime held 22 inches from her eye. The Object was"like
brightly polished silver" and traveled at en enormous
speed, traversinre aporoximately on: quarter of the hor-
izon in 1.5 to 2 Ssconds, where it was lost behind the
trees. There was no sound or exhaust treil of any sort,
The object was devoid of any wines. About 15 minutes |
leter ® froup of firhter planes in forration appeared |
from the west southwest. Th- Object had traveled from
approximately east northeast to west southwest. The
formation of plenes passed over snd reappeared some |
minutes later--in two grouos, I believe. fTher flew
fairly low--low enougch to meke them 2a8ily distinguishable
and low enourh to hear the quite audible roer of their
motors. I noticed quite e few private planes apiear
&t about the same time. This could @ll have beon simply
& result of the excellent flyine weather prevailine.

From th: date gathered it is possible to ealculate the
approximate speed, distenee, and £ltitude of the
Object, as follows:

SIZE OF OBJECT — DISTANCE TO OBJECT
SIZE OF DIME DISTANCE To DIME

q 27/1 MPH 2 calculated speed is 1810 mph, assum-

ine the object to be 100 f2:t in diemeter--
& commonly reported (sstimsted) size. If such Were the
diameter, the altitude would be 3756 fect. The distance from
"rs. Lenne to the object would have becn 54312 feet. If,on the
other rand, the object was only 359 feet in diameter, another
commonly reported size, the sp:ed would hve been 271 mph, the
distance from rs Se 97 feet, and the altitude 563.5 fest. |
I do not believ2 that the letter calculations Support th: evidence |
&as well ag the former, in spite of tne former's hir-h speed. If |
sich an object hed been flyinre et 271 mph «t an altitude of only
563.5 feet, sur:ly many peopl: woulda have seen it and it would
héev: been reported in th: press, It was not. In adaition, theres
would most likely hav: been a noise of Some s0 t. There was nonc.

In my mind this report, based on eyewitness testimony seconds
after sighting the object, and the data personally rathersd
by myself, proves thet there are some reports that cannot be
expleined by normel meens,. Th: Air Porce has stuted, via the
press, thet most of the 20% of unexplained raports were not
expleined due to insufficient dsta. I have tried to prevent |
this from hepoenine in this ers2. I mede every effort at the |
tim2 to obtain every bit of inform:tion possible, : hope thst

this report will be of some help to you. Wrs. & hes civen |
me her permission to describ: whet she saw--provided there was
no publicity or reporters. I trust that this report will re-
main confidential. This seme report has becn forward:d to
Civilian Sfucer Investigetions, Box 1971, lain Post Office,
Tos Angeles 57, Celifornie.
