Project 10073 Record: Sighting in Adamant, Vermont, 26 March 1950

This document is an Air Intelligence Information Report (IR-88-50) dated 11 April 1950, originating from the Intelligence Division of Headquarters MATS at Andrews Air Force Base. It details a sighting of an unidentified flying object reported by a civilian in Adamant, Vermont, on 26 March 1950. The witness, who claimed to have approximately six years of experience with aircraft, observed a crescent-shaped object, estimated to be the size of a DC-3, at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The object was described as white with a black outline, traveling at approximately 300 miles per hour in a northeasterly direction. The witness provided no information regarding the object's maneuverability, sound, or exhaust. The report notes that the Olmsted Flight Service Center investigated the incident and confirmed that no modified aircraft were operating from their field at the time, nor were any other unidentified aircraft reported in the vicinity. The official conclusion reached by the project record is that the object was a 'Possible A/C' (aircraft), noting that the flight characteristics were consistent with an aircraft and that there was no data to prove an aircraft could not have been the cause of the report. The document is signed by Lt. Colonel Joseth G. Mahar of the Intelligence Division.
