Sighting Report — Waubun, Minnesota, October 11, 1953

This document contains a series of military communications regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reported by a young farmer near Waubun, Minnesota, on October 11, 1953. The observer reported seeing two distinct objects. The first was described as a large, flat disk that moved slowly over his farmyard for approximately five minutes. He noted that the object emitted a buzzing sound and possessed several long, slender feelers or antennae on its underside, along with a goose-neck-shaped attachment on the front. A few minutes later, a second object, described as a flat, triangular shape, appeared and traveled rapidly in a southern direction, disappearing in a few seconds. The report was initially delayed because the observer first reported it to a Ground Observer Corps (GOC) post in Waubun, which then forwarded the information to GOC headquarters in Minneapolis, eventually reaching the 674th AC&W Squadron. The military personnel at the GOC post noted that they believed the observer was credible and that his imagination was not fabricating the details of the sighting. Despite this, the Air Technical Intelligence Center and the 31st Air Division conducted a joint analysis of the report. The final evaluation of the sighting was classified as C-4, indicating it was considered unreliable. Consequently, the Air Intelligence Service determined that no further investigation into the matter was necessary.
