Archivist's Notes: Civilian sighting of an aluminum colored disc shaped object, observed heading east for approximately 2 minutes. It appears to
have been concluded as a misidentified conventional aircraft. This is a short document, which does not contain much information beyond the sighting
report. The condition is fair.

by the interrogator relative to the intelligence and characteristics of the observer in question.

for two minutes before disappearing behind the mountains.

page 1 records the observation of an aluminium coloured round, flat, disk shaped object which was sighted for two minutes in cliff, new mexico on 22
april 1949. it was traveling east and disappeared behind the mountains. conclusion states 'aircraft' (because lots of aircraft in those days were
round and disk shaped?)
pages 2 & 3 are questionnaire. it is recorded that the witness was a retired teacher with no police record. oddly, considering the report is labeled
as an 'aircraft', the interrogator calls for checks on the witness with neighbours, local police, fbi and employer etc. why would they go to should
lengths for somebody who just saw a plane?
