Gun-Camera/RV Case
Bellefontaine, Ohio
August 1, 1952

Francis Ridge:
In Donald Keyhoe' s book, "Flying Saucers From Outer Space", the account on page 107 mentions that at 10:51 a.m. (Ohio time), August 1, 1952, radarmen at a GCI post had spotted a fast-moving UFO. The Intelligence report, item #20 on a clearance list of 42 items cleared for Major Keyhoe in the 50's, included the ATIC analysis. Later I found an unclassified copy. And thanks to William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Dan Wilson (BB Archive Researcher), we have further documentation. This case illustrates the accuracy of some of the earlier books, and also shows that the Air Force actually listed this case as an Unknown. Some strange things were going on in the region that day.
