Archivist's Notes: Record of a civilian observation of slightly orange object at Kirkland AFB, New Mexico, just brighter than the brightest visible star that appeared to be self luminous and grew brighter as it accelerated. Witness is said to be intelligent and of good character.
Document is readable for the most part and contains a diagram showing position and track of object. Record concludes no evidence to suggest it was not an aircraft.

--Location: Kirkland AFB

--Date: 27 June 1949

--One object sighted.

--Length of sighting approximately 2 minutes.

--Object travelling west to east.

--Brief Summary: Object slightly larger than the brightest star visible. Slightly more orange. Round. At times flared up and semed to have short, faint, fan-shaped tail. Light faded as object slowed and grew brighter when speed increased.


--Hand drawn diagram on last page.


--Officially classified as aircraft.



My Comments:


I find it interesting that this object is determined to be an aircraft (though I see no word on what type) when it is, more than once, compared to a star. At least in comparison to other reports here in the FOIA section that are FAR LESS star like (based on description) yet are classified as meteors.

I had a hard time reading 4 of the 6 pages, so I may have missed something. If you guys catch any misses on my part, please fill them in.
