U. S. AIR FORCE TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET
(SUMMARY DATA)

In order that your information may be filed and coded as accurately as possible, please use
the following space to write out a short description of the event that you observed. You may re-
peat information that you have already given in the questionnaire, and add any further comments,
statements, or sketches that you believe are important. Try to present the details of the observo-

tion in the order in which they occurred. Additional pages of the same size paper may be attached
if they are needed.

— ——— —_-

(Do Not Write in This Space)
CODE:

eee iene =

The object appeared to be composed of an energized substance
that emits light. when stationary, it was very similar to a star
with the exception of blinking or revolving lights that appeared
from time to time from a position above the main body of the object

and 2% variations in intensity of the light reflected or produced
by the object itself.

fhe object ramained to the west of us at all tines during the
period of observation. Its most significant characteristic was the
illumination mentioned above with the main body appearing to bs
oval in shape with a lower protrusion also oval which appeared to be
similar to a large search light. The lower part of the object was
only visible wnen the object appeared to turn, which may account for
ths variation in intensity of tne overall illuaination. In other
words, when the object turned toward us, the brightly lighted lower
portion was visible,

Thers were two olinking or revolving lights just above the main
oval that ab times appeared red and green.

the object went through three types of maneuvers - altitude
change, hover end horizontal change. The altitude ranged from a
roughly estimated 30,000 to 00,000 ft. ‘he odject appeared to
spend most of its time hovering. The horizontal speed is roughly
estimated in excess of 1,000 miles per hour. she distance of the
object from the aircraft ranged from a roughly estimated 50 to 150
miles.

The object appeared to hover, change altitude and move nori-
zontally unlike any aeronautical developnent known to this observer.

In appearance, it most closely resembled a large dirigible that has
been orightly illuninated.

The red and green li,hts mentioned above lead this observer
to believe that the object was man-made and the manner in which it
maneuvered definitely established that the object was controlled.

‘ @ speed much greater than the fastest jet aircraft and covered approxi-
mately fifteen degrees in an estimated one-tenth of a second, fhe

urse of the objects was estimated to be due south when first sighted by
a v2.0 was facing a northwesterly direction, Objects were estimated
to be two to five degrees above the horizontal and maintained thet eleva-

ticn during the entire time sighted, described the or of the
objects as "silvery light", unlike any star or meteor, stated
the objects appeared to be over Providence, Rhode Island, which is a

distance of eight to ten miles in a northwesterly direction, The objects
produced no audible noise or vibrations,

b, Objects were sighted by Sm: about 2205 hours
EST, 26 October 1952 and were clearly observed for an estimated one-tenth

of a second in the clear and for a fraction of a second through trees
which obscured the line of vision,

ce. Sighting was by visual observation only,

e. Identifying information on observer Sins tyenty-
four years of age, has recently completed five years of active service
with the U. S, Navy and is at present a student in a local radio school.
@QUMeivised that while in the Navy, he underwent extensive training
in radar and served as a radar man for about three years, cate
appeared to be familiar with various types of aircraft and stat at
he has never observed a comparable object advised that due
to the unusual sighting he did not report it immediately because he was
afraid of the unfavorable publicity that such a report might create,
However BB yc he reported the sighting within two days togthe

1524 Air Nat®onel Guard (zI), Hillsgrove Airport, Warwick, Rhode Island,
HILORETH advised that he inquired of ‘im ‘ the neighborhood, but

that no one had observed the objects, advised that shortly
after sighting these objects, he wrote down all he could recall and he
