Project 10073 Record Card — Brunswick, Ga. Sighting, 26 March 1950

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and accompanying correspondence from Headquarters Third Army, dated 4 April 1950, regarding a sighting of unconventional aircraft over Brunswick, Georgia. The incident occurred on 26 March 1950, between 11:15 and 11:30 EST. Five objects were reported, described as silver-colored, disc-like, and leaving vapor trails. Witnesses, including members of the Brunswick Airport Commission and other veteran pilots, estimated the objects were flying at altitudes between 30,000 and 40,000 feet with speeds ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 miles per hour. The objects were observed traveling south, disappearing, and then reappearing while traveling north. The report includes a newspaper clipping from the Florida Times Union, which details the observations of Frank Preston, a garageman who viewed the objects through binoculars, and Clarence Dubs and J. M. Rozier, who were flying in separate small planes at the time. The witnesses suggested the objects might be a new type of American aircraft or a new model of jet plane with unique flight characteristics that had been kept secret during development. The correspondence was forwarded to the Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for further attention under Control Number A-1917.
