In accordance with AFL 200-5, dated 29 Aoril 1952, Subject: Unidentified
Flying Objects Reporting, the following report is submitted:

On 28 January 1953 between the hours 2125 CST and 2148 CST the above
mentioned sources observed what appeared to have been an unidentifled Plying
object. These sources observed same from a C47 aircraft #44-77250 flying
at an altitude of 3000 feet on a true heading of 270° and at a ground speed

of avproximately 90 knots. %bject was first observed when the aircraft was

over § se, Nebraska by entire crew and the object anpeared to be between
20° ual 5° above the horizon and over Grand Island, Nebraska, .

Contacts were made with the following ground stations: Grand [sland,
Lexington and North Platte, Nebraska. All ground stations reported by radio
to aircraft that the object was west of them, Commercial Flight 609, west~
bound was contacted on Chanel D-Delta and B-47 #0211, flying at 39,000 feat,
was contacted, however neither could see the object reported upon,

To Lt. Dooley, who first noticed the phenomena, the light apreared instantan-
eously and changed color from white through blue, red and back to white in a con=
sistant manner. The object faded out of sight with movement toward the horizon
covering an angular distance of approximately 20° in 8 minutes.

Statement by Lt. Dooley, Pilot C-47 aircraft:

There was a high baze, a very Light, hign cirrus aroumd 25,1)
foeats; it was a bright moonlight night. Stars were hard to detect. ‘eo were

Scpproxima tely 15 minutes out of Grand Island apuroximately over Sur pris
HoDraare when I called Grand Island and received aoproval to maka Aor | ad At
ja got set up listening to the range, with Lt, Laker under the hood x hae
Pa cand At the time I received clearance for our approach, a bright light
appeared 10° to the lait of ow nose and above us adout 5 to 10,000 feet. Tha
light appeared to be over Grand Ishand. My first impression was that somebadty
hed turned on a landing Light to attract our attention and the first thoughtthat
came to my mind was why a nilot Plying that much higher vould try to attract
our attention. While I was watching this thing it started to changes color. Jhe

-

an time 15 was just a brilliant white, changed to pale blua and then to light
then a redish tone and finally to hits. The object anpeared to cover a

vegulated cycle on these undulating colors. I brought Lt, Baker's attention to
4% then Capt Tressels and the engineer's, We were all watching it. Thers was
one object and it apveared circular. Cbject size was compared to a dime on the
windshield from the pilot's seat and the dime just about covered the object.
There was no trail or exhaust,

ee ee)

At that time [ contacted Grand Island again and asked them at what points
they had a view of the sky. Ue said he had east and northeast glass in his
tower. I asked him to check outside and chnack a Light that was over Grand
Tsland. Yo said he-sans—juatatlitile bit shove the worizonand vest. So
I asked him if he would check with Jlorth Platte and see if they had the thing
in sight, This was sometime Later - 7 or 3 minutes later. Es called Jorth

Platte on direct line, North Platte said the thing was west of ime _Layington

radio saw it and it was also west of Them, ‘While we were Tal the thing over,
North Platte said it had gone out of aight. We still had it in 33 ght.
North Platte weather station tonk a theodolite shot of it on the first As 4" all

sighting, and it appeared to be circular, They didn't zive us any readings; + he
all they said was they had observed it throuzh a theololite, After that they
had notified Lowry. The thing was apparently half-way between Oenver and Ranid

City, so I told Shem to notify Flizht Service, thinking it night be intercepted

Grand Island wanted us to contact Commercial Plight 609, westbound, they
would Like to talk to us on D-Delta, Grand Island also told us that a B47
(‘lo 0212) flying at 39,000 feet could not sight the object. Woe was olther yoing
to Burbank or was from Durbank, Woe could ses his vapor trails. Ue was about
109 miles sowth of us. We could still see the thing, but the L-47 pilot could
not. There was just alight haze layer. ‘hen we contacted PLignt ght 609 object

night. i didn't argue with hin, I just got his impression, He said if you

are here at the right time you can see it almost any time. Ue said *e had sean

similar things several times. Ho said it set awfully fast.

We got back here at 1225, I think, and they had a CAM flight that came in
from Dag Moines or scmewhera, and he said that ih wagons, choy tes it every
once in awhile coming vest at that time of night. So ve just agreed vith hin
that that was it,

I studied astronomy for two years; I've seen Venus before, I have about
1650 hours pilot tine; Capt Tressel, 2500 hours; Lt Laker about 650 houra,
the engineer 300 or 350 hours. Lt Dooley has had about 350 hours of night
tine flying in the last two years.

Ws didn't change our course, The object remained directly in front of
the aircraft,

Ws were flying Creen 3 Airway from Onaha to North Platta; and Blue 36

before we zot to North Platte. The object was out of sizht by sy Wa didn't

appear to be looking through any haze at it. The engineer, Col DeXuyper, re~-
marked he never saw a landing Light that big on an airplane.

The time it went out of sight at Jiorth Platte, it was quite a distance
from us, It must have been at least 100 miles from North Platte. This thing
passed aprroximately 10 degreas to the left of our position, and when i+ went
out of sight it was maybe 5 or 10 degrees to the right. It covered an azinuth
angle of about 20 degrees, The object was lost and it apnoeared to have dipped
below the horizon, but shortly thereafter it was noticed several times to
reappear momentarily and very din,

The people on the ground at Grand Island said the color yas.changing, _'
remarked on the phenomena of the lights changing. Thay never said an epee;
about the size. ‘The object anveared in my angular coverage of vision instant—
aneously and came on just like someone turning on a Light,

I asked Grand island if they could contact Goodland to see if they could
pick it up on radar. Ue said he didn't have any contact with them; he would

notify Flight Service at Lowry. UNCLASSIFIED
