9:30 am. The objects moved south along the East coast and hovered
near Fort Monmouth, N.J., for about 5 minutes at 50,000 feet. As radar
at Fort Monmouth detected the objects, they put on a burst of speed and
headed southwest toward Washington, D.C., confirmed visually. At about
noon, a physics professor in Washington reported seeing a grayish
UFO hovering and arcing back and forth across the sky. (Ruppelt,

Section 1
At 9:20 hours on July 1, 1952, two
unconventional aircraft were sighted directly over the Fort
Monmouth, New Jersey area. The objects were at approximately 50,000
feet in altitude. One of the objects appeared to suspend motion for a
period of 5 minutes after which it took off with a terrific burst of
speed in a southeasterly direction. The objects displayed a speed
of 2 to 4 times in excess of conventional aircraft.
At 1520 hours on July 1, 1952, John Norman
Meier, Military Instructor, Radar Division, Fort Monmouth, New
Jersey, reported the presence of 12 unconventional aircraft directly
over Fort Monmouth area at an altitude of approximately 40 to 50
thousand yards. Later this estimated altitude was confirmed at 40
to 50 thousand yards. Meir stated that these 12 unconventional aircraft
displayed great maneuverability, excessive high speeds and the same
characteristics as the two objects reported earlier.
