LUMINOUS OBJECTS SEE.t'l OVER ALGERIA -- Oran , Ora n Republic , 16 1\ug 52

In Ain Sefra, on the night of 12 August 1952, a r ailroad agent observed


a ball of fire suddenly appeating against a background of clouds , racing
across the sky from E to W and l eaving behind a l uminoua pinlt trail. Apparently increaing in volume , the ob j ect stopped Guddenly, became bright
red, and s eemed to explode, but the observer did not hear uny noise.

At 2115 hours on 14 Auguot 1952, two persons in the city of Constantine


a luminous object flying nt high speed toward Guelma. According to the
witness, the apparatus, which had no r esemblance to flying Gaucer , e~~ited
a very bright light. At the time this happeded, the local weather burea u
had not launched any weather balloons .
The saBle day, at 1920 hours, many people at the docks of Phil ippville sav in the sky an enormous red disk going fro~ N to W, l eaving behind a greenish trail .

" J f you don't hear from me in 10 minutes, go


back up the road to that house and call the

When he failed to r e tu rn, Bobby a:1d the other
two boys ran to the house Jnd called the sheriff's
office. Pa rtin, who was c1uisins; nl'arby, was contacted by radio c:nd reachcd the scene about half
an hour after Sonny's departure. While he was
trying to get a story ftorn the boys, S onny suddenly
appeared at the bottom of the embankment.
He w as white-faced a nd Ehaking and kept repeating: ''I'm comir.g, h<'re I nm! " His lantern
was gone. but he still had his machete.

The scope lace of the AN/APG-41 indicator was slightly out o.r focus, and
the picturee that l~r.
the Ol)erator, took in search do not ~how the phenomenon
clea1ly. A description aRa streeh of the search presentation of the phen<nt:!non on
the "B" scope is included as part of the AU/APG-41 operator c st2.tement ( :rncl. 3).

6. Weather condltions.

Immediate area was clear, nearest cloud formations


were approximately' 40 miles disl;ant (at the same altitnde). 'l'hcre \-las a cloud deck

c.

The All/APS-23 opel'ator E statement gave the details of \:hat he savT on hi:J
PPl acope.
H. Photographs of Al~/APG-41 a cope are available. These are the 0-15 fillrs
referred to and discussed in 3 above. These and the Iatchel film r of'crr ed to in 3
will be retained by Lt
and will be available upon his rctt~n to
Hrlght-Patterson AFB, Oh 1
February. His office is in the Arrr.ament Laboratory,
Building 22, Post 2aa., Phone 20121 or 26235, and the office symbol is UCLOL-1.

9 Naneuve1s were made by the B-36 aircraft to prove trac'Y.ability

o!: the

phenomenon. By observing the AN/APG-41 antenna position while tracking the


phcmornenon it lfB.S determined that during tho D-.36 Maneuvers the Phenomenen r emained
on its same ap9arent course and speed.
The maneuvers consisted or turns, clir.tba, and dives (to the extent of' the
B-36 s capabilities). The o-41 antenna and turret would move l-lith respect to the
E-36 so that they pointed towards a point in space traveling a path parallel and
more or less coinciding with the path the D-36 had departed fran. The phenomenon
descended at the same rate as the B-36 and maintained a distance of 2000 to 4000

ynrds ahead or the B-36. \ofuenever the B-36 established a new neading so that the
phenomenon was entire~ out of the search sector of the G-41 antenna, the G-41
would not detect anything for a period of several secondo up to 2 or 3 minutes.
Then su~ the phen~enon would reappear and ~~e G-41 would again detect and lock
on it. See the AU/APG-41 operator s statement (Incl. Uo. 4) for details.

10. No air traffic was observed in the Dallas area at the


electronic sighting.

Stato"TTent by AN/AP0/41 operator on

day Docer.tber 1952, Cot"vair fl i ~~ht

~1hile flit;ht testing AN/APG/41 rado.r on nose of

n-36 0.5h,

12-21~-$2,

I encountered a spurious target during Hork with fiehter n:Lrcraft.


Thinkinr, that it mieht be cloud trouble, I asked pilot (G. I. Davls)
what kind of cloud cover 1-1e i1ad around us. His remarks Here "not. a
cloud in 40 miles." At this time the fiehters to~cre di::;;patched to rct11rn
to their base. The spurious target o.gain trir,r;cred the ALO and :nade
a very firm lock on. '~t this polnt I asked t he APS-23 oper:1tor for
confirmation on target. He confirmed that he nad s een spurioti.S tar.::;ct
at ::n..1c azimuth po~ition and po:::sibly sasr.e rt.ngc. BY thi~ tlmc tl .e
tar;;~ L had ap9eared several t..ir,cs in a pop in and pop out !i.an.ncr nt the
same range 2000 to 4000 yd:> but varyioe in ax:in:ut-h of 60 to tho .d .cht
or lei't of tne .hose of' t~e ship. To assuro r.tysclf I a~ kcd the pilot to
maneuver the ship after lock on to prove trackability. Thl~ s ilOiled
~"lrget to be very stable and trackablo.
At this time \Ie had spent
so;:te 30 minutes -with the target and ~;hen ue st.a.rted to descend the
target stayed with us dorm to about 151 000 ft. J..t thi s point ground
return was triggering my system, and the target \~as no lon!?;m~o seen.
Thls target did not look like normal r~turn that you eet frozn other
aircraft: The only thing that I have ever seen to rese1:~ble it uas
spent 20 ~-!H shell cases unich I have tracl<ed cefo:-e on t.he APG/!1
tail system in same ship.

Statement by AN/APS-23 operator,


ship 44-Y205h, type B-.36.

24

Decer.1bt:r

19$2,

convair fll::ht on

The APS-23 with c-412 control in lieu of a computer :i.s u~ed ns


search racm.r on this uirplnne. At t~e ti.I'Jle I lms rcquo~ted to aid in
detecting the pheno:nunon I wn3 in seal'ch position l,~,ooo ft. altitude
and 36 ~tle range. I had previoucly determined 3lso that in level
flight, search condition, tho best eround return was obtained Hith -7
to -9 degree antenna tilt. I then reduced ran~e to tho stop po ~ ..Ltion which
removed the flve mile range rnark from the scope, and upon this fact I
estimated rr;y maximum range on the scope at 4 .5 miles. I next ~witched
to Sector-scan :lelect.ins a 120 doeree arc dead ahead and by movinG
antenna tilt to zero posltion on scala tho described tar~ets began to
appear. I then found my best target r anze from zero to f'4 degr c:es .
Since the targets l!ere in tho sru1e 9roximity as the A~;/APG-J~l had
in<.iicat.c d, I did not, chons e altitude. In alm,xlt every instance I ~-Jould
see the turget on my scope by the tine the A:/ APG-41 had detected and
locked on. 'l'he AI:/..'\PG-41 opera tor ~10uld ca:i.l out ranee of lock on, and
my range would be cort:parnble to his. Cil one occasion I detected a
second target farther out ( appro;d..Matcly one Jailc}, and on several
occasions I could see anoth~r target 30 to 45 degrees either =ide of
the one ho w~s locked on. On one occa3ion I nwitched back to s earch
pick~d up the target aft of the airplane, and f olloi!ed it out of 4.5
tlile range. These tarzets uere very sharp and with RF gain could
be tuned very brieht. However, they ,.,ere unuoual in the fact that
they did not trnck in from the edge of the scope but would appear on
the scope at a range of two to four miles. They also mi~ht r emain
constant for several :;weeps, and then the next sn-eep they would be
gone. Several sweeps later they might rcaypear. They would disappear
at the same time the AN/f..PG-hl would unlock.

~le

next checked to see if the two set~ lmre mutually inte rfering
with each other by turning the AN/APS-23 to stand-lTJ position, and
alternately turning the J'J!/APG-41 to stand-by. ~Yo interference 11as

observed.

The following information is provided to assist your office in a
regarding the object he observed on
reply to
15 March

a. The Pleiades are in the ~est at about 4o degs elevation


and Orion in the Southwest (az 220 deg) at 55 degs elevation. Tbe
motion of the object vas to the Southeast.

b.

Consultation with Dr Robinson (FTD Astronomer) indicates that


a moving object of +6 magnitude is not visible to the naked eye.
Tberefore, it is assumed that the object was brighter.
c. Characteristics of his observation are similar to those
sightings previously confir.med as 1atellites. The arc--distance
traveled and the fact that the object passed in five minutes are
considered '~th our analysis.

d. As a satel lite passes into the earth's shadow, it is no


longer visible, whi ch would account for the sudden disappearance of
the object. Irregular motion in flight, if not extreme, can be
attributed to atmospheric conditions. We do not carry 4ata on the
flight path of tre se objects, other than Echo I and Echo II. Both
of these satellites are usual ly of the first or second magnitude.
Therefore, ltr Carter's sighting is probably one of the smaller
satellites visible to the naked eye, such as 1962 B THETA.

Dear
This is 1n reply to yo~ letters or March 9th
and March 16th on the subJect of Unidentified Plying
Objects.

Regarding the object you observed on March 15th~


the Pleiades are in the west at about 40 dess elevation and Orion 1n the southwest (az 220 deg) at 55 degs
elevation. The motion of the object was to the southeast. Consultation with an Air Force astronomer indicates that a moving object of plus 6 magnitude 1a not
visible to the naked eye. Therefore~ it is assumed
that the object was brighter. Chax~ctarist1cs or your
observation are similar to those s1ght1nga previously
confirmed as satellites. The arc-distance traveled
and the fact that the object passed in five minutes are
considered in this analysis.

As a satellite passes into the earth's shadow, it


1s no longer visible~ which would account f or the sudden
disappearance of the object. Irregular motion 1n flight~
if not extreme, can be attributed to a tmospheric cond itions. The Air Force d oes not carry data on the flight
path of these objects~ other than Echo I and Echo II.
Both or these satellites are usually of the first or
second magnitude. Therefore~ you sighted probably one
of the smaller satellites visible to the naked eye, such
as 1962 B THETA.

Gentlemen a

On the 2nd of December at approximately 2:30 or 3a00, I was outside on


the patio waiting for a barbeque fire to burn to the point where I could
place some meat upon the grill. I was thinking and looking up at the sky
and marveling as to the clearness, the intense blue sky and that there
was not one cloud in the sky as far as I could see. I saw 4 blurred
objects in the sky that seemed to be altering their shapes but it appeared
to be due north of me and over the house behind my residence. These blurred
objects appeared rather suddenly and within a minute or so after I observed
their presence, 4 clouds started to form around them. The wind was blowing
from the north at that time and the density of the cloud around the object
was intense and soon all that could be seen of the objec t s were the fact
that the immediate area around, above and below the ob jects seemed to be
a thick cloud or smoke. The wind was blowing the cloud and approximately
100 yards from the objects the cloud or streamers of cloud like material
dissipated. I looked at these objects for at least 4 or 5 minutes and
they were moving very, very slowly, I would say in the neighborhood of 1
to 2 miles an hour and they seemed to hang in the sky. As they reached an
overhead position, I saw these 4 distinct shapes, one was round with a
scalloped type edge in the rear. I thought that whoever or whatever they
might be was looking so I waved to them then I remembered my camera so I
went into the house to fetch my camera and when I came out the clouds and
the objects were over the house and I could not qet a good picture so I
went to the front of the house and aimed at the cloud formation to take a
picture. When I realized the lense opening was not proper so when I took
the camera down from my eye, adjust the lense and the speed of the shutter,
I sited the clouds but the density or points of intense densities had disappea~ed.
Within a matter of a minute or minute and half the clouds had
disbursed. At that time and prior to the s ng of these clouds, there
was no evidence of any other clouds in the w ole sky as far as I could see ~

. I

'

'

On Monday the 4th of December, I was doing surgery with another physician
and he stated "how did you like the weekend?" "Wasn't it beautiful out?"
I said "Yes, and a funny thing happened". I described the cloud formation
and he stated that it happened about 2:30 . to 3:00 and I said yes it did and
t
he stated that he saw the cloud formation or this lonely cloud forming and I
then he also saw it disappear and he was rather interested in this fbemenua~. .
I

On November 25, 1967 I was either fortunate or unfortunate in observing the


positioning or placing of a platform above the Southcentral United States.
Is this a coincidence or something to be considered when these 4 objects
appear over my house appmximately a week later? .The day was clear, a wind
was blowing, it was between 2z30 and 3:00 when th1s occurred, I was not

looking at the sun, viaability waa unlimited, I was not tired, the lenses
of my glasses are and were clean. I imagined the altitude of these objects
were in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 thousand feet or leas

Dear Major Quintanilla a

The following is in response to your letter or inquiey dated December 21,


1967, concerning UFO observation at Dallas, Texas on December 2, 1967.

There ware BSS aircraft operations at Love Field Airport on the above date.
Whether any or these operations could have caused the reported sighting is
not lmown.
I

llo one in the Control Tower observed any unusual sighting of this nature.
No one reported a similar sighting to us on the above date.
