Age: 28

Occupation: Salesman

Educaticn: 12 years

Qualifications: Former U.S. Navy Asrial Photographer

II, RELIABILITY: SOURCE was contacted by phone as he was not at home during
investigators ere in the Baltimore area. An appointment with SOURCE was set up
for 7:00 p.m. B.S.T. on 18 June 55 at SOURCE'S residence. However, investigators
waited at SouRcs *S residence over two hours, but SOURCE did not arrive, During
phone conversation, SOURCE gave the investigntor the imoression that SOURCE was
over confident in his ability to identify aerial phenomena. In view of the above,
it is the investigator's opinion thet the SOURCE be considered only fairly reliable,

even theugh he was definitely sincere in his statements.

III, SOURCE'S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: SOURCE was just beginning to close the
window in his home when object appeared in the southeast at apnroximately 15/02402
June 56, SOURCE observed object for a pericd of five(5) to ten({10) seconds before
it Gisapveared in the northwest. SOURCE stated that the:object was avproximately
45° from the horizon and this angle remained constant during sighting.

SOURCE described the object as being cigar shaped with the front half of
coject Gefinitely outlined by a rew of distinct individual lights. SOURCE

the
lixened this portion of object to a cow of cabin lights. The rear half was reddish
bine as if it was exhaust trails and not a real part of the object.

SOURCE stated that the aposrent size of the object could be compared to
the palm of one's hand at arm's length. SOURCE stated that, although speed and
altitude would be hard to estimate, he believed object:to be traveling at 2000 m.p.b.
when first sighted and then object eccelere.ted to an unbelievable speed and thus
disappeared. SOURCE considered the altitude of object to be between 1000 and 2000

feet.

SOURCE described object as being solid with an appearance Similar to that
of a model airplane fuselage, SOUNCE further stated that unless this country or
other countries on sarth,has such a device unknown to the public, he believed it

to-be a ship from another _Dianet.

Ne eee ~

SOURCE described the sky as being dark with a few scattered stars and the
moon shining brightly. SOURCE stated that the object's path at no time went in
front of or ovehind any other object in the sky. According to SOURCE, there were
scattered clouds and the weather was hot and dry with no wind,

SUPPLEMENTARY INVESTIGATIVE EFFORTS:

1. A check with the Baltimore Filter Center revealed that a multitude of re-
ports on the mentioned object were reported from 1502352 Jun 56 to 150353Z Jun 56.
According to GOC personnel, Civil Defense officials in the Baltimore area were also

receiving continual reports on the object.

2. The CAA office in Washington D.C. (GJPJ 0053) indicated that the only un-
usual phenomenon in the vicinity of Baltimore, Maryland was an advertising aircraft.

3. The control tower at Friendship International Airport in Baltimore, Md.
stated that the only unusual phenomenon in the area was an advertising aircraft with
various lighting schemes, This aircraft was flying low over the Baltimore area at

approximately 150200Z Jun 56 for an unknown period of time.

4. The U.S. Weather Bureau at Friendship Airport in Baltimore indicated the
following data at 150200Z Jun 56:

Surface Winds: WSW, Seven (7) knots

Ceiling: Unlimited

Visibility: Ten (10) miles

Cloud Coverage: Four-tenths (4/10) at 30,000 feet

5. Mr. Schoeneach, Air Vertising Co. of 17 Guilford Avenue, Baltimore, Mary-
land stated that his company had no aircraft in the area at the time object was
sighted. However, information received from Mr. Schoeneach revealed that another |

air Fad tapig seein from Hagerstown, Maryland (GNK 1739) was operating in the

6. The information received from the USAF Weather Office at Andrews AFB,
wand di

Maryland (GJPJ 1843) indicated the wind direction and velocity in degrees and knots
as foilows:

Surface — ee 7 20,000 = 320° = 7

6,600: = Om dh 30,000 -- 340° - 21

(The above constitutes the winds at "1503002 Jun 56)
Ceiling was 30,000 feet, clouds, light scattered; visibility, ten (10) miles.

7. A check with John Hopkins University in Baltimore indicated that no unusual
phenomenon had been sighted by university personnel on the evening of 14 June 56.

8. A check with the 647th AC&W Squadron at Manassas, Virginia (GJHJ 3145) re-
vealed negative radar contact of the object. However, due to the number of reports
at the Baltimore Filter Center, the 647th scrambled an F-86D at 15034452 Jun 56 from
the 95th FIS. Negative interception was accomplished by F-86D. Pilot sighted ain
liners and four (4) different search lights, but nothing that resembled reported
object. Pilot stated that it was hazy at 5,000 feet and above in the Baltimore .

12, A check with Mr. Dean Castang, 101 Devonshire Rd,, Hagerstown, Md. revealed
that he was operating an advertising aircraft in the Baltimore area on the evening
of 14 June 56. Mr, Gastang was flying a 31-13 aircraft with a lighting scheme on
the bottom of its wings similar to the type utilized on exterior of the New York
Tines Building, N.Y.C., N.Y. (HJBL 0246). The lighting arrangement spelled out
"ASH SaLES", the company in Baltimore that had hired Mr, Castang, According to
Mr. Castang, he apvroacned the city at 1501032 Jun 56 from the southwest at a
true altitude of 1500 feet indicating an airspeed of 90 MPH and flew two counter-
clockwise orbits around the city. Mr. Castang stated tnat he climbed and descended
" aa he circled the city to maintain his altitude, At the end of each orbit on the

COMMENTS OF PREPARING OFFICER:

1. Preparing Officer concludes that this sighting was definitely caused by
advertising aircraft mentioned in par 12 of Part 3 this report, for the following
reasons: |

a. Sighting time of object and flying time of advertising aircraft were
approximately the same, Neither SOURCE could give exact time of sighting.

b, The course of the advertising aircraft coincides with the approximate
course of object described by SOURCE in Part I and II.

} c. Lighting as described by SOURCE in Part II would be the same as that
on the advertising aircraft. SOURCE in Part II estimated a tremendous speed of
object which could have been due to the short time of sighting and the low altitude
of aircraft.

d, Due to negative radar contact accomplished by the 647th AC&W Squadron.
e. Due to haze that was reported by Lt. Albright, pilot of the F-86D

scrambled from 95th FIS, Andrews AFB, Md. Poor visibility could give varied impress-

ions as to the speed and appearance of a low flying aircraft.

f. Short time of sighting by SOURCES in Part I and II would not enable
them to properly identify any object.

ge Contacts with all well known eoservatories and government. agencies
in the area indicated that no unusual phenomena were evident in the area at the
time of sighting.

he All agencies that were cognizant of the advertising aircraft and were

able to identify it as such.

II, RELIABILITY: SOURCE was a slender built, middle age man whose mannerism
reflected that of a good citizen. SOURCE appeared to be sincere in his statements
and was very cooperative with investigators. Having traveled on commercial airlines
and due to the participation of his son in GOC activities, SOURCE seemed to have a

ticed object while playing

IIT. SOURCE's DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING:
Baltimore, Maryland,

cards on a patio outside his home at
at approximately 150230Z Jun 56.
SOURCE stated that the object was sighted in ths west at an angle of 445°
from the horizon and moving on a true course toward the north with no erratic changes
in position or acceleration. According to SOURCE the speed of object remained con-
stant, somewhat faster than a commercial airliner, but less than that of a jet.
SOURCE described the object as being cigar-shaped of a deep yellow color with fuzzy
or blurred edges and small traces of red and blue exhaust trails. Object emitted
mo sound that could be heard by observers during the sighting, which was a period
of one (1) or two (2) minutes. Object retained its original shape and color during
Sighting. SOURCE stated that the object had the appearance of a baseball held at

arm's length.

During the entire observation, the sky was dark with a few stars and the
moon was shining brightly. SOUHCE stated that at no time did object move in front
of or behind any other object. Object disappeared from view at the same angle from
the horizon as it appeared. SOURCE described weather as being hot and dry with

little or no wind. , ‘

SOURCE stated that he believed the object to be some type of man-inade
flying machine. However, he also stated that the object was not the type of air-
craft currently known to the public as it emitted no sound and its appearance was
quite unique. SOURCE further stated that object gave the impression of gas in a tube
emitting brilliant light.
