Sept. 23, 1948; Los Alamos, NM
{Santa Fe?] (35.68° N, 105.94° W ?). 9:40 a.m. Group
of Los Alamos Scientific Lab personnel, Angier, Fairchild and others,
waiting for an aircraft at the landing strip saw a sun-reflecting glint
in the sky from a flat circular metallic object high in the N sky
appearing like a flat dime on-edge slightly tipped as if 50 ft away.
(BBU Sparks. Case recounted in unpublished Ruppelt manuscript said to
be included in the TOP SECRET AMC Estimate of the Situation, apparently
a revised version of the Aug. 5, 1948, initial draft. FUFOR Index.)
=======================================================================
Witness A. Ruble Angier saw a round flat object with the
apparent size of 100 to 150 feet in diameter. The object was stationary
at about 25,000 to 30,000 feet, and then started to move. Object seemed
to be moving in a semi-cirle.
Witness John C. Fairchild says the object was oblong or
egg-shaped and appeared to have a speed of 700 to 800 MPH.
There is a discrepancy as to the date of the incident. Mr.
Angier says the incident took place on September 23, 1948, and Mr.
Fairchild says the incident took place on September, 25, 1948.
