“1. Per request of A. O. Mirarchi, during recent visit
to this base, the following information is submitted.
2. Sightings were made on 27 April and 24 May 1950 of
aerial phenomena during morning daylight hours at this station. The sightings
were made by Land-Air, Inc., personnel while engaged in tracking regular
projects with Askania Phototheodolites. It has been reported that objects are
sighted in some number; as many as eight have been visible at one time. The
individuals making these sightings are professional observers – therefore I would
rate their reliaibility [sic] superior. In both cases photos were taken
with Askanias.
3. The Holloman AF Base Data Reduction Unit analyzed
the 27 April pictures and made a report, a copy of wich I am enclosing with the
film for your information. It was believed that triangulation could be effected
from pictures taken on 24 May because pictures were taken from two stations.
The films were rapidly processed and examined by Data Reduction. However, it
was determined that sightings were made on two different objects and
triangulation could not be effected. A report from Data Reduction and the films
from the sighting are enclosed.
4. There is nothing further to report at this time.”
The cover letter was sent to Commanding Officer, AF
Cambridge Research Laboratory, Attn: Base Directorate, Geophysical Research, 230 Albany St. , Cambridge ,
