interviewad with regard to the sighting of’an unidentified flying ouject.
Cn the morning of 16 October 1952, Lt “ooper, instructor Pilot and Lt O'Niell,
Yilot, were flying a combat mission in a T-6 aircraft over the eastern sector of
the main line of resistance. “t O650I, Lt dooper was flyin» the aircraft on‘a
magnetic heading of 280 de-rees, 140 miles per hour‘indicated air speec, 6,300
feet indicated altitude. Lt O'4ell was checking She <LR for activity when he
observed what he thought was a strange aircraft at 6,000 feet altitude, traveling
approzigately 200 mph and heading in an easterly direction. ‘hen he first
ovserved the object it was at approximately UT¥ coordinates DI221,13 and the T-6
was at 27312362. The object was 15 dexrees to the rizht of his course traveling
on 2 magnetic heading of 100 degrees, !
Lt O'Mfell calle? the object to the attention of Lt ‘iooper who did .ot
observed it wntil the aireraft and the object came paralled, ile then saw it at
the 3 o'clock position. lt O'Miell stated that as te was callin~ off the relative

positions of the object for Lt Honper; (who was attemptins to rick it un) the
obtect appeared to be decelerating. 5y tha time Lt lisoper observed it, the a
obtect had apparently ceased to move and was hoveriny over T2942, Toth ohservers
report the fact that the object ceased movement, out Jiffer as to tie length of
time of the hovering, - Lt Hooper astimtes the time 25 1° seconds while lt O'Neil
reports the tine to be «nproximately 1 to 2 seconds.
Lt “ooner dinred the right wine of the aircraft for a better observation of
the object. it hegan to move, accelerating in an castenorth aasteriy direction
and disarpeared from sight in the haze as the I-64 came about in a 120 decree,
the speed of the objact at this time was estimated b7 Soth observers to be
ancrox<imately 800 mph, Lt Hoover bases his estination upon the time elapsed in
it's covering arproxinately 15,000 meters.
Li O'Niell stated that at first he thought the oniect was a jat or iiasion
tyne aiccraft, Lut upon further otservation it did not szppear to have any 3ere=

tigoper had com-lsted 27 missions and Lt O'Niell hac completed 25 missions and it
is considered that their judgement in estimatineg distance and dimensions seems
eccellent. «#11 their estimates of dimensions, speed ard ‘istance were civen by
comparison to sone known factor, for example the sreed of their own aircraft as
compared to jets and f=51"'s that thez have worked with. ‘They hac no predeter=

D/I TZAF Comment:
1. Airbdorne orientation of a small airborne object in reference to |
a maneuvering aircraft is extremely difficult, particularly when the sircraft
is very near to the object, Since the reference points would normally be
points on the ground near the line-of=sigcht to the object, a nearby object
would appear to be moving rapidly; and if hovering, 1t would appear to be
moving in a direction opposite to the relative motion of the observing
aircraft,
2. Since enemy balloons are known tohave been used in this vicinity,
this observation was probably of the seme location reported in IR-§2=124,

STATEMENT 17 October 1952
| On 16 October 1952 at approximately 06501, the weather conditions were four
tenths (4/10) at sixty-five hundred (6500) and ten (10) miles visibility. We had
just finished checking in with Zimmerman Control and were told to go to Early Bird
Control. The route of travel was to take us over the Punch Bowl. After completing
a turn im Grid Square DT 3136, I being in the back seat, started to check the Uz
for activity. While in-the same Grid Square, I observed what appeared to be an
aireraft flying along the MLR on an Easterly heading. I remarked to lst Lt. Hooper
that there was a strange aircraft traveling along the WIR at six-thousand (6000)
feet indicated. At this tine werwers approximately sixty-three hundred (6300) feet
indicated. The observation of the object was first observed in Grid Square, DT
2241, against a cloud background.
. I called tha attention of the object to lst Lt. Hooper for his observation.
The first time I noticed the object, it was 1230 from us. I continued to clock
the object and called at 1 and 2 o'clock, Thistime we both had the object under
observation. At first sighting, I approximated the speed to be 200 MPH. fihen
object was approximately 2 o'clock from us, it started to slow down, At that time
there was no background but the darkness of the hills. The object hovered and we
dipped the right wing to observe. The object was 25 feet in diameter and sllver
in color, and seemed to glow, The object was hovering at the time. Cbject then
changed path of flight to the East by Northeast heading, accelerating to a speed of
approximately 800 MPH. je turned the aircraft to keep the object under observation.
The object flew out to sea out of our sight. The closest observation was
approximately 3 miles from ua, I was observing it with the naked eye, while the
other pilot was wearing Air Fores issued sun glesses. Object hovered in Grid
Square, DT 2942.
