The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
The principle witness to the phenomena had been a Lt.
Colonel who was Wing Director of Personnel of the 146th Fighter-Bomber Wing
headquartered at George Field so it was no wonder the case sparked an immediate
reaction by the High Command. This is apparently #1 on Major Dewey Fournet’s
‘motions study’ UFOs cases as presented to the Robertson Panel in January of
1953, whereby he deduced that UFOs were guided by intelligence and the flight
characteristics indicated that the intelligence was beyond ‘us’. This is a
Project Blue Book unknown and later information (15 Feb 2006) seems to indicate
that this might classify as a radar/visual case. (see Lt. Col. link below)

May 1, 1952; George AFB, California
10:50 am. An Air Force officer and a group of airmen
in a separate location observed a formation of five white disc-shaped objects,
three in front and two behind. The trailing objects darted around in zig-zag
motions. Suddenly the objects switched to a tight V-formation, made an almost
90-degree turn and sped away over the mountains. The five objects were sighted
at George AFB and from a golf course 4 miles away. Observer: S/Sgt David Darbyrsira
146th Air Police Squadron sighted the 5 objects at at George AFB, at 1050 hours
PDT, about one hour after a cloud from an atom blast was sighted in the
direction of Las Vegas

Wikipedia article: “George Air Force Base”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“George Air Force Base was a United States Air Force
base located within the city limits, 8 miles northwest, of central Victorville,
California, about 75 miles
northeast of Los Angeles, California.
George AFB was closed pursuant to a decision by the
1988 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission at the end of the Cold War.
It is now the site of the Southern California Logistics Airport.
Established by the United States Army Air Corps as an Advanced Flying School
Since 2009, the California Air National Guard’s 196th
Reconnaissance Squadron (96 RS) has operated an MQ-1 Predator Remotely Piloted
Aircraft (RPA) training facility at the Southern California Logistics Airport.[2]”
