1. At 14452, 24 June 1953, A/2C Richard A. Hill af 11 173 575, a weather
observer with three and one-half years experience, while tracking a weather
balloon through a theodolite, sighted an unidentified aerial object approxi-
nately three miles distant from the observation point at Simiutak, Greenland
(6111N, 4634W). The object was sighted instantly upon explosion of the 100
gram balloon, causing A/2C Hill to state the object had burst the balloon,
Description of the object at this time was expressed by the observer as
being triangular, red and rotating while in a hovering position. The size
was estimated to be two times that of the 100 gram balloon. The object con-
tinued to hover at the altitude of approximately 16,000 feet (according to
theodolite readings conducted by 4/20 Hill at the time) for fifteen seconds,
The observer continued to watch the object for five minutes while it climbed
to the west. Upon moving it appeared to be a red ball-shaped dot. It left
no trail and seemed to be gaining altitude at a tremendous rate of speed,
finally disappearing after five minutes. Object was seen by subject indivi-
dual only, |
2. The observer stated that the object disappeared in a northwesterly
direction and sesmed to be climbing rapidly. Theodolite reading of 301
degrees were taken for five minutes as the object disappeared from view. 8/13tt
Weather Detachment, this station, advised that the 241500Z piball at Sisiutak
showed winds at 10,000 feet 120 degrees at 14 kmots, 12,000 feet 120 dezrees
at 13 mots, 14,000 feet 180 degrees at 4 mots, 16,000 feet 200 degrees at
7 knots. The piball was terminated at this height. Between 16,000 and 14,
000 feet a marked wind shift occurred. An analysis of the 1500Z 500 millibar
chart stated winds at 18,000 feet at Siniutak were 280 degrees at 12 knots.
Winds from 18,000 to 20,000 feet were northwesterly at 15 knots. The uniden-
tified object, therefore, disappeared into the wind. Cloud conditions were —
3/10 cirrus clouds at 20,000 feet at time of sighting, with 1/10 altocumlus
at 8,000 fest ,

SLALEAENT
I, A/2 Richard A. Hill AF 11173575, after having been duly sworn
do hereby make the following statement. The statement is true and
correct to the best of my knowledge. ;
At 2414302 June 1953 as I was following the pilot balloon through
the theodolite the balloon burst and it its place was a red object.
It seemed to be twice as large as a 100 gram balloon which is about 4
feet in diameter. The balloon was at an altitude of 18,000 feet when
it burst and approximately three miles from the observation point. It
held approximately the same position for 15 seconds by making slow
circular movements such as a loop. The object was not discernable as
to its structure but it did appear to have a definite shape which seen-
ed somewhat triangular. Then it started moving towards the northwest
picking up speed rapidly. Upon moving it appeared to be a red ball-
shaped dot. It lefS no trails and seemed to be gaining altitude and a
tremendous rate of speed and finally disappearing after five minutes.

COMENTS of the Preparing Officers
1. Significant factors to be censiccred in 2 vrolininary covaluation ere:
(1) The object was ovserved ty cnc :orson only; (2) Thts sizht4uc is unique in
that the object was observeé throu; ar instrument; (3) The object appeared
instantly after the balloon burst o-/ in the seme position. — = ~~ |
2. The possibility thut tne ohject wens in some war causec¢ ty the “2lloon |
burst is strengthened tr the faci Urt the olbfcet eprearcd innecintely after
the turst. To teliove t@at t « ob fact was cavceé by an incenencen® fretor is |
ler ving too much to coincidence. °
3. Although the sincs at 12,900 fest wers sorerally norti-estcriy, one
connot conesluce that the objec? cisarrenred into tic wind, since, ritort ecntine
