Unidentified Aerial Object Sighting — San Antonio, Texas, 25 March 1953

This document details an Unidentified Aerial Object (UAP) sighting that occurred over San Antonio, Texas, on the night of 25 March 1953. The primary witnesses were an Air Force officer and his wife, who observed several unidentified lights for approximately one hour and thirty minutes, beginning at 2315 CST. The witnesses described the objects as appearing in the north and traveling south at a very high rate of speed, faster than any conventional aircraft known to them. Notably, the objects performed circular maneuvers, with some executing a complete circle of approximately 15 miles in diameter. The witnesses reported that the objects made no sound. One object was observed passing through the halo of the moon, leaving a trail similar to a vapor trail that did not persist. The witnesses were standing in their front yard at 514 Monticello Ct. when the sighting occurred. They subsequently contacted the Kelly AFB control tower, where personnel confirmed they had also observed the lights. The report includes an official Air Intelligence Information Report (AF Form 112) and subsequent correspondence between the San Antonio Air Materiel Area (SAAMA) and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) regarding the investigation. ATIC analysts concluded that the sighting remained 'UNIDENTIFIED.' While consultants like Dr. Robinson suggested the possibility of rotating beacons reflecting off high-altitude haze or clouds, they acknowledged that the objects' circular flight paths were inconsistent with known astronomical phenomena such as meteor showers. The document includes detailed observer questionnaires completed by the witnesses, which emphasize the lack of sound and the extreme speed of the objects. The case was formally tracked under Project Blue Book.
