AI-Generated Summary
This document records two 1950 UAP sightings in New Mexico by USAF personnel. Both incidents were officially identified as meteors by the OSI.
This document, a Project 10073 record dated January 2, 1952, compiles two separate sighting reports from February 7, 1950, in New Mexico. The first report involves two USAF pilots who observed a 'brilliant white' fireball moving from East to West at an estimated speed of 1000-1200 mph. The duration of this sighting was 2-4 seconds. The report notes that the object itself was not directly seen, but a flash lit the cockpit. The second report involves two airmen at Kirtland AFB who observed a 'reddish-green' fireball, described as 'twice evening star' in size, moving from SSE to E. This sighting lasted 4-6 seconds and was at a high altitude. Both reports were evaluated by the OSI and ultimately classified as 'ASTRO (METEOR)'. The document serves as a summary of these aerial observations under the purview of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC).
