Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — Robins AFB, Georgia, September 1952

This document is a collection of intelligence reports and record cards concerning a sighting of unidentified flying objects near Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, on the night of September 23, 1952. The primary witness, a member of the Civilian Guard Force, reported seeing between five and fifteen round, yellow-white lights circling in a counter-clockwise direction at an altitude estimated between 1,500 and 2,000 feet. The sighting occurred between 2310 and 2330 hours. The witness, who claimed no prior interest in the subject of flying saucers, was later joined by two Air Policemen, A/1C Clifton K. King and A/1C Miriam M. Bounds, who also observed the objects for approximately five minutes. The witnesses reported that the objects made no sound, vibration, or odor, and appeared similar in size to stars but slightly brighter. During the observation, a plane was noted taking off from the base in a southwest direction, passing between the observers and the objects. Subsequent investigation by the Air Technical Intelligence Center and local base authorities determined that fifteen T-6 aircraft from Bainbridge Air Base were conducting a training flight in the vicinity of Robins AFB at the time of the sighting. Official reports from Bainbridge confirmed the presence of these aircraft in the area between 2310 and 2330 hours. Consequently, the incident was attributed to these training aircraft. The documentation includes multiple copies of the intelligence report, a project record card, and hand-drawn sketches by the witnesses depicting the objects' movement and appearance.
