T' Report on Unidentified Flying Object 10: Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center (AFCIN) 4E2X Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio In accordance with AFR 200-2, paragraph 15, dated 14 September 1959, the attached Flying Object Report and sketch are submitted. FOR THE COMMANDER UFO Report w I 3 atch Report on Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) 1. Description of the Object: a. Shape -Rasembled a comet b. Size -Appeared the size of a bright star c. Color -bright white d. Number - 1 e. Formation -N/A f. Tail or Trail -Streaming very similar to a comet at the vicinity of the object; however, the trail fanned out rapidly behind the object into what looked like a very large flounder shaped ice cloud which narrowed again into a normal contrail some distance behind at a lower altitude . g. Unusual Features -Within the large flounder shaped cloud there appeared a point of light which grew in intensity until it became very bright with a large nalo aoout it. It t hen decreased in intensity, but the halo persisted for approximately five minutes. 2. Description of Course of Objectz a. When first noticed, the""object was a normal looking contrail, l evel with me at my llJO position coming toward me. I was at 36,000 ft, heading b. Angle or :lavation of the Object. The object seemed to be cli ing, its maximum elevation was reached when it was in my 0900 position in the direction of ~ic~mond, Va. I would estimate it to have been 20 above the horizon at this point. It then gave the impression of a turn to a more easterly heading so that it was continuing to climb directly away from me. c. Manner of Cbservation -Visual while airborne from B-S7E, 55-4256, 36,000 ft, MSL, 2400 MC, 420 KT~S from Stewart AFB, N. Y. d. Time and date of sighting. (2) Light conditions -twilight. e. Location of Observer -On a course between Baltimore T N~nd Gordonsville TACAN 70 NM from Gordonsville;observed for a period of 10 Identifying information on observer -Military, Ronald L. Widner, \f'' US~F, 4713th Def Sys Eval Sqdn, Pilot. g. Weather and Winds - (1) CAVU, winds 290/lOOK No significant weather activity or cloud cover in the area. ALLAN E. AARONSON Captain, USAF UFO Officer Tyndall AFB, Florida Statement (Capt R. Sketch of UFO Sketch of UFO L. Widner) S I A I E M E N I At 0030Z,between Baltimore and Spartansburg, I observed a contrail apparently at my level on a reciprocal heading. It seemed to climb leaving a very large pattern of what looked like the formation of a cirrus cloud. As it approached my 1030 position, I would see a very bright object resembling very much the appearance of a comet streaming this odd shaped cloud. By it had reached my 0900 position and was very high (my altitude was 36,000 ft). It then headed more in an east9rly direction and became dif- ficult to see in the rapidly fading twilight. I was flying a B-57E enroute to Tyndall AFB from Stewart AFB. R. L.
