Unconventional Aircraft - 17 April 1950

This document is an Air Intelligence Information Report (IR-129-50) dated 3 May 1950, originating from Headquarters First Army and evaluated by the Intelligence Division at Andrews Air Force Base. The report compiles information regarding five alleged sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by various WATS units between 29 March and 17 April 1950. The primary content details a specific incident occurring on 14 April 1950, in which a military intelligence sergeant stationed at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, observed four rectangular, amber-colored objects while driving near Port Monmouth. The witness described the objects as being approximately three to four feet long, one foot thick, and entirely flat-surfaced, lacking any wings, tails, or wheels. These objects were observed in a disorganized formation at an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet, traveling at an estimated speed of 75 to 100 miles per hour. The witness noted that the objects moved in a rapid, non-systematic manner, constantly changing positions within the formation and accelerating or decelerating without a clear pattern. The entire formation was observed to rise and fall in a coordinated movement, with an estimated altitude variance of 1,000 feet. The witness reported that no towing apparatus or conventional aircraft were visible in the vicinity. The sighting lasted approximately three to four minutes under fair visibility conditions with cloud cover at 3,000 feet. Additionally, the report includes a brief mention of a separate sighting in the San Antonio area, where a witness reported seeing a flying saucer that appeared to be made of molten metal, which allegedly crashed in the Sierra de Morones mountains. The document is marked as unclassified and includes standard declassification instructions.
