SWORN STATEMENT
I 34th Air Division (Defense)
Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, do hereby wish to make the foll-
owing statement:
At approximately 1815NsT on the 9th day of August, 1952, I did
see an unsonventional object. The reason for me to notice this object
was several people standing in the road looking up. This object was
round in shape and remaining motionless when first sighted. The area
surrounding it was clear. It was gray in color and left at a high rate
of speed, approximately 400 MPH in a straight line with no visable means
of propulsion. This object was larger than a F-86 fighter, at the same
altitude and distance from me. I watched this object approximately
5 to 6 minutes before it disappeared. It dissappeared in a northerly
direction.

WORN STATEVENT
I。 J being firet duly sworn, upon myouth
depose and say:
That I am a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State
of New Mexico, am 44 years of age, have been living in New Mexico prac-
tically all of my life and in Albuquerque for the past 8 years.
That on Saturday, August 9, 1952, at approximately 6:00 P.M., as
I was in my automobile and leaving my home at hattlers
Alhuouerque, New Mexico, I saw whom I afterward learned to be
Sgt. mand his wife standing in front of my house looking in a
northerly direction, which caused me to look in such a direction,
where in the sky in a clear space among the clouds I sighted some sort
of an airborne object, which to ms appeared to be a round object, dark
in color and apparently having no wings, but it was so far away that
it might have had wings which I could not distinguish with the naked
eye. When I first sighted this object it was some distance from me
and not being experienced in the field of observing and estimating
the size and speed of aircreft at a distance, I could not too well
tell the size or speed but I would judge that the size was about that
of one of the large bombers and from information that I heve received of one of the large bombers and from information that I heve received
as to speed traveled by a bomber or jet-propelled airplane I would
estimate the speed that this object was traveling to be about 400 to
500 miles per hour. I observed this object for about three minutes 500 miles per hour. I obnerved this object for about three minutes
and it appeared to be traveling away frow me slightly to the west on and it appeared to be traveling away from me slightly to the west on
a straight north course and it appeared to me to be traveling on a
level line in a steady course neither reising nor putting on a burst
of apeed and then slowing up.
After observing this object for about thres minutes I then drove After obeerving this object for about thres minutes I then drove
my automobile to the east three houses away from my house where my
neighbor neighbor had been watehingthis object. After stopp- had been watching this object. After stopp-
ing and talking to he sighted it again in the sky
but I was unable to ses it at that time.
Dated at Albuquerque, New Mexico, this 12th day of August, 1952.
