The whole UFO case report:

“Fran Ridge:

In May of 2005 we found MAXW-PBB9-1289 (an AIIR, Air Intelligence Information Report) while looking for something else. Since I was working on White Sands cases I set it aside. Then, a week later, I stumbled across another reference. NARA-PBB85-654 mentioned an unidentified radar return. It was marked with brackets as secret. However, it was listed as having occurred on April 8th at 2000 hours (8:00 PM). I checked the NICAP Db and it wasn’t there, so I then went to the ‘Bluelist’, the outdated PBB Unknowns. Duncanville was listed, as Item 1095, and as April 5th. But Dan Wilson & Brad Sparks had noted the correct date as April 4th.

Brad Sparks:

April 4, 1952. Duncanville, Texas (BBU 1095)

8:30 p.m. (CST) USAF Cpl. Billy D. Greer and PFC John W. Harrington of the Radar Maintenance Section, 147th AC&W Squadron, tracked unidentified target by FPS-10 radar first to the NW at 310°-315° azimuth at about 70 nautical miles (80 miles) moving at high speed of about 2,160 knots (2,500 mph) until it disappeared off the scope at maximum range of 260 n.mi. (300 miles). Height-finder reading not taken, estimated at 42,000+ ft due to radar beam coverage at max range. (Jan Aldrich; FUFOR Index)”

“Brad Sparks:

March 24, 1952, 60 miles W of Pt. Conception, Calif. (BBU 1077)

8:45 a.m. [p.m.?] B-29 navigator and radar operator tracked unidentified target on airborne radar at about 3,000 mph. (Berliner; Shough)

Dan Wilson:

March 24, 1952, 60 miles west of Point Conception, Calif.

At 8:45 a.m. PST, Lt. Hancock, Radar Observer, and Lt. Cone, Navigator, aboard a B-29 observed on the radar scope a clear and distinct radar return of an object with a calculated speed of 3000 MPH. The radar return was observed for 20-30 seconds. The altitude of the object was of less than 25,000 feet. Both observers were regarded as highly reliable officers.”

Point Conception, California, is situated in the south western part of Santa Barbara County.

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD:
DATE: 23 Mar 52/
LOCATION: Yakima, Washington”

(Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Source: NICAP.org

Quote from the document:

“Firey [sic] color. Flash shape.

Balloon launch was as 2100 and 0300. Only balloon in area could be possible Stray. Sun would be low at this time and could possibly cause flash of light.

Ground radar pick-up at 1805 PST. F-94 scrambled at 1833. Twice F-94 saw flash and unsuccessfully tried for radar plot showed object drifting with wind.

No ground radar pick-up after 1613 (my correction: 1813) PST.”

Project Blue Book listed the case as “Unknown.”

NOTE: NICAP.org gives the date of the UFO incident as 22 March 1952.

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“SUBJECT: Contemplated Action to Determine the Nature and Origin of the Phenomena Connected with the Reports of Unusual Flying Objects”

3 January 1952

(U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Source: NICAP.org

Quote from the document (not written in U.S. Department of Defense document format):

“1. The continued reports of unusual flying objects requires positive action to determine the nature and origin of this phenomena. The action taken thus far has been designed to track down and evaluate reports from casual observers throughout the country. Thus far, this action has produced results of doubtful value and the inconsistencies inherent in the nature of the reports has given neither positive nor negative proof of the claims.

2. It is logical to relate the reported sightings to the known development of aircraft, jet propulsion, rockets and range extension capabilities in Germany and the U.S.S.R.

3. In view of the above facts and the persistent reports of unusual flying objects over parts of the United States, particularly the east and west coast and in the vicinity of atomic energy production and testing facilities, it is apparent that positive action must be taken to determine the nature of the objects and, if possible, their origin.

4. In view of the facts outlined above, it is considered mandatory that the Air Force take positive action at once to definitely determine the nature and, if possible, the origin of the reported unusual flying objects. The following action is now contemplated:

a. to require ATIC to provide at least three teams to be matched up with an equal number of teams from ADC for the purpose of taking radar scope photographs and visual photographs of the phenomena;

b. to select sites for these teams, based on the concentration of already reported sightings over the United States; (these areas are, generally, the Seattle area, the Albuquerque area, and the New York-Philadelphia area) and

c. to take the initial steps in this project during early January 1952.

W. M. Garland

Brigadier General, USAF

Assistant for Production

Directorate of Intelligence”

Brigadier General William M. Garland sent this letter to Major General (later promoted to Lieutenant General) John A. Samford, Director of Intelligence, U.S. Air Force.

Garland was Samford’s primary aide, according to the book, UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry (Page 132).

Quote from the article:

“The sighting yesterday (30 July 1952) of a ‘glowing object, blue-orange colored, flying at terrific speed’ over Teaneck by Fire Lieutenant Mowbray Darby, Captain Harry Davis and Fireman Arthur Backer gives more credibility to flying saucer reports over Bergen and Passaic Counties.”
