FLYING OBJECT
Introduction:
On June 17, 1960.
c/o New York University, University Heights, New York 53,
N. Y., submitted a piece etal for examination. The
piece of was about 1 by about 0.O20" thick
and appeared to be heavily oxidized on both surfaces.
Prof. Nielson requested a micrograph of the structure
of the metal and an identification of the nature or
composition of the metal.
The Sample:
The sample appeared to have one as-rolled
edge, one adjacent edge remaining
edges as-burned. Approximately one-half of the surface Approximately one-half f the surface
on one side was covered with a tight scale that cracked on one side was covered w h a tight scale that cracked
off cle ar on slight bending. Most of the scale was
inclusions
(
Procedure and Results:
The scale was separated from the metal by
bending. The remaining metal was cut into two pieces.
One piece was mounted, polishe nd etched for metallo-
graphic examination The remaining piece of metal and
the scale were subjected to spectrographic analysis.

Elements checked but not found: Aluminum,

Conclusions:
It appears that the sample represented a

coated with a lead pigmented paint and then heated in

Report of Recovery of Unidentified Object
During my tour as Officer of the Day, 28 May l96o, I was contacted
at approximately l030 via telephone by
Bentley, Michigan, telephone number His 16 year old son,
was plowing with a tractor on their farm, when he noticed a
flaming object falling from a Southwesterly direction at an angle of
about 75 from the ground. The object landed approximately 5 feet
from the tractor and scorched the ground upon impact. No aircraft
were visibly or audibly in sight. The object was recovered by
John Galazin, after it cooled, and was taken to his father. The
location of the farm is
Standish, Michigan.
I notified Captain Godsey, Base Administrative Officer, who
informed me that he wouldnotify Lt. Col. Rollin R. Bullinger, Base
Commander, an equested me to contact S/Sgt ELROD, M. W., EOD for
pickup of the tem. I contacted Sergeant Elrod, who left the base
by Government chicle at approximately 1130.
Sergeant Elrod returned at approximately 1545 with the object,
which was secured by the undersigned for the remainder the weekend.
blue-black in color. It varies in thickness from approximately
1/64" to l/16". One edge has the appearance of multiple layers sor
laminations of metal, covered by an oxide. The base metal is not
brittle, as would be a burned portion of exhaust stack or turbine
blade.
Recommend the object be forwarded for metallurgical analysis
and determination of its source.
Pictures of this object are requested by S/Sgt Elrod for inclosure
to his report to Ogden AMA.
requested that if any information was to be dissem-
inated as to origin, etc., of this object, he please be notified.
