UFO Paper:
“NCP-12: The White Sands Proof”
By Dr. Bruce Maccabee, 2002 (copyright)
(NICAP.org)
In this paper, Dr. Bruce Maccabee writes about the “green
fireball”/unidentified flying object incidents that occurred at sensitive Top
Secret nuclear weapon research facilities/
installations in the south western part of the United States
during 1948-1950.
It was the areas around Los Alamos, New Mexico; Sandia
Base (Kirtland AFB) near Albuquerque, New Mexico; the White Sands Proving
Ground (Holloman AFB, Alamogordo) in New Mexico and (after a while) Killeen
Base (Killeen, Texas) (a nuclear weapon storage site located at Fort Hood) that
experienced the UFO overflights.

that are not military land (e.g., the NPS's White Sands
National
Monument), as well as USAF facilities. (text by

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“Objects observed following
MX 776A test of 27 April 1950”
15 May 1950
(Project Blue Book , U.S. Air Force, Washington , D.C. )
Source: NICAP.org
The whole document (not written in U.S. Department of
Defense document format):
“2nd Lt. (name censored) EHOSIR
1. According to conversation between Col. Baynes and
Capt. Bryant, the following information is submitted directly to Lt.
Albert.
2. Film from station P10 was read, resulting in
azimuth and elevation angles being recorded on four objects. In addition, size
of image on film was recorded.
3. From this information, together with a single
azimuth angle from station M7, the following conclusions were drawn:
a. The objects were at an altitude of approximately 150,000 ft .
b. The objects were over the Holloman range between
the base and Tularosa
Peak .
c. The objects were approximately 30 feet in diameter.
d. The objects were traveling at an undeterminable,
yet high speed.”
This Data Reduction report by Wilbur L. Mitchell
(Mathematician, Data Reduction Unit) was attached to the 31 May 1950 U.S. Air
Force cover letter (realtvufos.blogspot.com)
I reported on in the preceding blog post, according to Dr. Bruce Maccabee (nicap.org).

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“SUBJECT: Aerial Phenomena”
31 May 1950
(Project Blue Book , U.S. Air Force, Washington , D.C. )
Source: NICAP.org
The whole document (not written in U.S. Department of
Defense document format):
“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 ,
Massachusetts . It is not known
who wrote the cover letter, according to Dr. Bruce Maccabee. Quote from Dr. Bruce
Maccabee’s paper, NCP-12: The White Sands
Proof (nicap.org): “The
writer of this cover letter is not known (no signature). It might have been the
Lt. Alpert mentioned below.”

UFO Case Directory (IMCAT):
“Cinetheodolite Film Taken By Tracking Station
April 27, 1950
White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico”
(NICAP.org)
The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
April 27, 1950. Holloman AFB, Alamogordo , New Mexico
(BBU)
While preparing for an MX-776A Shrike air-to-ground
missile test Charles Riggs and other members of USAF contractor Land-Air, Inc.,
Askania theodolite crews saw, tracked, filmed 4 high flying objects on a
cinetheodolite at station P-10 and a theodolite at station M-7. Triangulation
resulted in 30 ft
size and 150,000 ft
altitude for the ‘high speed’ objects located between Holloman AFB and Tularosa Peak .
Timothy Good:
Todd Zechel claims that photographic evidence found
missing from the Air Force Project Blue Book files eventually found its way to
the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence in the 1950s, and specifies a
number of movie films taken at White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico: a
cinetheodolite film taken by a camera tracking station on 27 April 1950; a
cinetheodolite film taken by two camera stations on 29 May 1950, allegedly
showing two huge UFOs traveling at 2,000 mph ; and a 35mm film taken by a military
pilot on 14 July 1951. (Source: ABOVE TOP SECRET, 354)
Brad Sparks:
The Holloman Data Reduction Unit report by
mathematician Wilbur Mitchell stated that the speed was high but
indeterminable. Evidently they just did not want to state an outlandish number.
Presumably they had seconds not minutes of film of high angular velocity
objects so a slow-moving Skyhook is ruled out -- also there were 4 objects
close enough together that they were all within the FOV, so that also
eliminates a single Skyhook (I really doubt that they would not know of Skyhook
launches from their own base). Only other possibility is daylight meteors but 150,000 feet (30 miles ) is way too low
and they should have dropped to earth and burned up not, as what apparently
happened, took off in powered flight. (See BB documents below) Oder himself is quoted in the AF documents in 1951 as
pushing for Mirarchi's federal prosecution on grounds that Mirarchi had allegedly
revealed classified SPEED-ALTITUDE tracking data on UFO’s. That proves that
Oder and AFCRL back in 1951 KNEW there was a SUCCESSFUL TRIANGULATION at White
Sands, and one so important that they went to the extreme lengths of trying to
get Mirarchi thrown in prison in order to maintain the coverup!”
NICAP.org presents U.S. government (Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force)
documents that pertain to the UFO case.
I also reported about this UFO case on 24 October
2012.
