Archivist's Notes: Page one is blank,the rest of the file is legible. No determination although the report states that no balloons were in the area at the time of the sighting.

I've always liked sightings reported from pilots. Is a known fact that they're trained observes and personally I trust their judgment.

This document is very short and there are no details about the UFO. The object has been observed visually which means with no assistance of optical or electronical equipments. On June 7, 1952 the pilot and copilot of an B-25 sighted and object in a altitude estimated as 11.000 feet. The object appeared suddenly on the right wing of the plane in a distance approximately 250-300 feet from it.

The shape of the object appeared rectangular measuring 6 feet by 4 feet and made of a shiny material, possibly aluminum. The report has no more details.

Even in the Blue Book this sighting is mentioned in a very short sentence which includes the whole story:

June 7, 1952; Albuquerque, New Mexico. 11:18 a.m. Witnesses: crew of B-25 bomber #8840 at 11,500'. One rectangular aluminum object, about 6'x4', flew 250-300' below the B-25.

From the previous documents archived by us there are some sightings belonging to the same time frame, mostly over the skies of New Mexico.
