Project Blue Book Sighting Report — Baltimore, Maryland, 3 July 1962

This document is a Project Blue Book sighting report concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 3, 1962. The primary witnesses were a woman identified as Mrs. Hall and her young son. The report details that the object was first spotted by the son. The object was described as glowing with varying intensity, which the observers interpreted as a slow rotation with a light source located on one side of the object. The object traveled in a straight path across the sky for a duration of four to five minutes. During the observation, the light disappeared completely while the object remained within the sight range of the witnesses. The report includes meteorological data for the time of the sighting, noting scattered high thin clouds, a temperature of 79 degrees, and a wind from the southeast at 5 knots. The official conclusion reached by the investigating officer, Captain William S. Lemaster of the USAF, was to positively discount the object as being an aircraft. An advance copy of the report was delivered to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
