R. #12 29 NllW VO~K e. N.Y. p. # 4 64 FLYI:i'TG OBJECT c/o New York University, University Heights, Hew York 53, }J. y., submitted a piece of metal for examination. The piece of metal was about 1" x 1" by about 0.020 and appeared to be heavily oxidized on both surfaces. Prot. Nielson requested a micrograph of the structure or the metal and an identification or the nature or composition or the metal The Sa!tiole: The sample appeared to have one as-rolled edge, one adjacent edge as-cut and the two remaining edges as-burned. Approxi~ately one-half of the surface on one sid~ was covered with a tight scale that cracked off c~ ar on slight bending . Most of the scale was black in color but portions contained grey to tan-like inclusions Procedure and Results: The scale was sep~rated from the metal by bending. The remaining metal was cut into two pieces. One piece was mounted, polished and etched for metallo- eraphic examination. The remaining piece of metal and the scale were subjected to spectrographic analysis Fi5ure 1, Plate 19606 -lOOX is the structure It appears to be coarse-grained heavily oxidized ferrite. The results ,.,ere as follows: :t-1an.~a.n e s e t1olybdenum or the spectrographic analyses Not ?1)und Sf\M l'(J U H li CU., SAM TOUR & CO . Inc. R. #12 29 Elements checked but not round: Aluminum, Zinc, Cadmium, Indium, Vanadium, Tungsten. Conclusions: It appears that the sample represented a piece or sort iron, such as Armco iron, which had been coated with a lead pigmented paint and then heated in air or an oxidizing environment to a scaling heat.

R.acove:ry Report 2. Pboto~apba Report of Recove~ of Unidentified Object During my tour as Officer or the 1960 was contacted at approximately 1030 via telephone telephone nwnber His year old son was plowing with a tractor on their rar.m, when he noticed a flaming object falling from a Southwesterly direction at an angle of about 75 from the ground. The object landed approximately 5 feet from the tractor and scorched the ground upon impact. No aircraft were visibly or audibly in sight. The object was recovered by John Galazin, after it cooled, and was taken to his father. The ation or the farm is tandish, chigan. I notified Captain Godsey, Base Administrative Officer, who informed me that he wouldnotify Lt. Col. Rollin R. Bullinger, Base Commander, and r e quested me to contact S/Sgt ~LROD, r~I. \v., EOD for pickup of the item. I contacted Sergeant Elrod, ~o~ho left the base by Government vehicle at approximately 11)0. Sergeant Elrod retnrnC:ld at approximately 1545 with the object, which \-ras secure~ by t.he undersigned for the remainder of the weekend. object is me t,allic approximately 1 1/8" by 1 square, and blue-black in color. It varies in thickness from approximate~ 1/64" to 1/16". One edge has the appearance of multiple layers or laminations of metal, covered by an oxide. The base metal is not brittle, as t..Jould be a burned portlon of exhaust stack or turbine RecoTh~end the object be forwarded for metallurgical analysis and determination of its source. Pictures of this object are requested by S/Sgt Elrod for inclosure to his report to Ogden ANA. requested that if any information was to be dissem- inated as to origin, etc., of this object, he please be notified. 4026th Field l'iaintenance Squadron 1 . object J l\.J~r .L Ltr, llq b026th Strategic Wlnl (H)(SAC), 2 June 60, Rj)t ot Recavecy ot UFO lut Incl (Ai'CIM-4E2) /Haj Friencl/amc/69216/typec.l 7 June 60 Aero8pan Tecbnical Intellipnce Center, tteraon AFB, Ohio TOt Hq 4026th Stratepo Wlftl (BDAS), Wurt1tb Ant, Michigan object. vhlch vaa ld. tb your letter 11 be ins &n&J.Taecl 'b7 this Center tor 1dent1t7 and poeible intelligence interest.
