The following infonnat.ion is beine forwarded to your Headquarters for whatever action you may deem appropriate. 2. On Sa'b.l.rda1, 15 November 1952 at 0240 hours, Captain a Special. Agent of 4th District, OSI, and a pilot with 1000 hours including combat time along w1 th his wife observed an unidentitied aeriaL object. The object passed over their house at slightly to the East. The sound, which drew to tne winc!ow or his home, as close aa he can relate it, was similar to a flight or jets, six (6)or more, at very low altitude. However, on observing the position or this unidenti- fied object, its altitude was estimated at 4000 feet MOving in a southerly- direction. All that could be observed was a white or pale blue light l'10ving at a speed in excess of ~ conventional aircr::i.ft ever observed by the Captain or his u::.re. There were no wing lights; and from the angle first observed, a gxeen, right wing, light as well as a 11hi te light should have been seen. The total tL"i\e of observation was some sevsn (7) or cieht (8) seconds before this cra!t made a left ttr:t to the south, that seemed- noi'!Ul. and rr.ade an abnormal ascent of about a 45-degree angle. Rven after the object made its tum, the white light Has still observed but ""ent out alightJ..y aftgr the object started climbing. 3.
