Report on Unidentified Flying Objects — Brooks Air Force Base, 9 October 1952

On 9 October 1952, between 0930 and 1030 hours, personnel at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas observed three unidentified flying objects. The witnesses, including a Captain, two Master Sergeants, a Staff Sergeant, and an Airman Third Class, described the objects as round, silver-colored disks. Estimates placed the objects at an altitude between 40,000 and 50,000 feet, with one witness estimating their size at approximately 130 feet across. The objects were observed hovering and wobbling in place before moving at high speeds in a westerly direction, with some performing steep climbs before disappearing from sight. No sound was heard, and no exhaust trails were observed. The base operations center was contacted, but they had no radar coverage of the objects at the time. Weather data for the period was recorded, but the report concludes that no meteorological conditions could account for the sighting. The report includes individual statements from the witnesses, though the reliability of these statements is noted as unknown. No physical evidence was recovered, and no interception or identification action was taken by the Air Force.
