(detormct!ned by set. 2nd vntrol sighi.in~-Vanns AT!C FORM 329 (R2V 26 SEP 52) E-M and Non-E-Af Saucers The next UFOs reported in this series belong to the old-fash- uon-E-~1 variety. From \Vhite Sands Proving Grounds near Alamogordo, New ~1exico, came a report that military police, wl1ile patrolling the up-range in a jeep about 2:30 Sunday morning ( n few hours aftcr the Saucedo incident), had seen a brilliant reddish- orange light, shaped like an egg, hovering in the sky. From its ap- parent distance ( hvo to three miles away) an-d apparent size (as large as a grapefruit held at arm's length}, the men deduced that it '''as a huge object, 75 to 100 yards in diameter [2]. After remaining motionless for about three minutes, it descended toward the ground and disappeared. (According to some versions, it later rose into the sky and then disappeared.) I embers of another jeep patrol n1atched this tale with the report that on Sunday night about eight o'clock they had seen a bright, glowing object hovering in the sky but, instead of landing, it suddenly climbed until it got so far up it looked like a star. Both, jeeps, it should be noted, continued to function normally. Offidafs at \\ hite Sands soon dampened fhe cxcitement. The de- scription of the light that appeared at 2':30 A.M. induded certain doubtful factors. T11e night had h een overcast and so dark that the were not visible, although the cloud cover was broken at in- tervals. Since the sighting had not included any object of known or known size for C!mnparison, tl1e estimates of the UFO's distance and ~ize were of no value. The light might have b een sman and close; it might cqnally \vell have been huge and far away. Un- der the circumstances, the most probable explanation was that the men had glimpsed the moon (then roilghly half fuJI) through broken clouds, and that thP apparent movement was an illusion produced b y the moving douds. The Sunday evening UFO was unquestionabfy the planet Venus. Then nearly at maximum bril- it was a conspfcuoos ohje<:t in the western sky after sunset ancl inspired many saucer reports during this week of anxiety. The White Sands incidents had r eached the papers, however, and contributed to the gcneral hystcrfa. By ~(onday afternoon, fly- ing eggs were allegedly stopping automohi1cs as far north as Can- ada, but the Southwest continued to hold the center of the UFO stage against all competition. i\IR INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION REPORT t) ~.-' ~ ~ ' t J I i Y S ll:1 'ti l i T Pt~ IH: PORT 10o6th AISS Ent AFB, Colorado . 6 Noy 57 c,(.F.LC:>/r; ~"I~C~ tJA'J'f.
