PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD

DATE: 29 Aug '52 LOCATION: Coast of Gr[REDACTED] 77°, 75°15' W CONCLUSIONS: Was Balloon DATE TIME GROUP: [HW:] TYPE OF OBSERVATION: Ground Visual CONCLUSION: Possibly Balloon Level: OCT: 29/1950 PHOTOS: Yes SOURCE: 2 AF pilots CONCLUSION: Possibly Aircraft Possibly Astronomical! Possibly Astronomical! LENGTH OF OBSERVATION: 2-3 NUMBER OF OBJECTS: 3 COURSE: CONCLUSION: Insufficient Data for Evaluation Unknown

BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING: Disk shaped, white objects traveling from near to extremely high speeds in a triangular formation were observed by two pilots of F4Y-2 a/c while on a cosmic balloon tracking flight. The pilots were observing the cosmic balloons they had released when the unidentified objects appeared.

COMMENTS: Possibly an up trend illusion caused by the sun reflecting off the cosmic balloon. First seemingly eliminated when the fact that the 3 objects were seen by two observers at different positions in the F4Y one in the Astro dome the other in the pilot's seat.
