Project 10073 Record Card: Sighting of Unidentified Aerial Objects, 29 May 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying intelligence report from the 36th Air Division, dated 4 June 1952. The report details a series of sightings of unidentified aerial objects by B-29 aircraft crews during a night training mission on 29 May 1952. The sightings occurred in the vicinity of Otto radio, east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and later near Tulsa and Enid, Oklahoma. The witnesses described five objects that were globe-shaped, greenish in color, and luminous. The objects were observed for less than a minute, appearing to travel along a horizontal path, with one instance of an object trailing off toward the ground. The crews compared the appearance of the objects to a 'very flare' fired at a distance of approximately one hundred yards. The report notes that the crews involved were familiar with the characteristics of meteorites, yet they expressed the opinion that the objects observed were not meteorites. Despite this, the official conclusion recorded on the card is 'Poss Meteor Shower'. The document confirms that no physical evidence or photographs were obtained, and no intercept or identification action was taken. Weather data for the times and locations of the sightings is provided in the report.
