“Another flying saucer story: the Air
Force said today an ‘unidentified object’ has been reported flying over Los
Alamos, N.M., site of major atomic energy installations.
An Air Force spokesman said the
sightings were reported last Tuesday (29 July 1952), about noon.
Observers on the ground reported
watching, through binoculars, something shiny and apparently metallic in the
sky for 30 minutes. They said the object was travelling at high but erractic
speed.
Three jet fighters were asked to
investigate. While the planes were in the air, the same object or a similar one
was observed from the ground for about two minutes, but was not seen by the
fighter pilots.
A ground observer said the object
made a 360-degree turn to get in the rear of the fighters.
The information was released here in
response to queries after Kirtland Air Force Base, near Los Alamos, declined to
give out a statement.”
