Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — Condon, Oregon, 22 April 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an Air Intelligence Information Report (IR-25DI-3-52) detailing a sighting of unconventional aircraft near Condon, Oregon, on 22 April 1952. At approximately 12:15 PST, a civilian female witness observed three saucer-shaped objects moving in formation toward the east. The witness described the objects as having a shiny metallic appearance with gray-brown undersides. One of the objects, which appeared to be the leader, was observed to be revolving. The duration of the sighting was estimated at two minutes, with the objects traveling at an estimated speed of 300 mph at an altitude between 20,000 and 40,000 feet. The witness was interviewed by 1st Lt. Jack B. Todd of the 636th AC&W Squadron. The report notes that the witness had no prior observer experience. The weather was reported as clear. The incident was reported electronically to the assigned Ground Control Intercept (G.C.I.) station, but no radar contact was confirmed. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for evaluation. The report was prepared by Captain Ray E. Arnold and approved by Major Neil A. Vosburgh of the United States Air Force.
