Summary
A 209-page set of numbered "Check-List – Unidentified Flying Objects" forms, many with witness statements. Incident #1 (8 July 1947, Muroc Army Air Field, Calif.) records a lieutenant and three witnesses seeing two silver "disc-like or spherical" objects at about 8,000 ft and 300 MPH, and the witness was sure they "were not weather balloons." A 7 Jan 1948 form from Lockbourne AAB, Columbus, Ohio, describes a red to amber-yellow circular object with a thin trail that hovered and moved on an elliptical course before fading into the horizon, citing reports from Godman Field, Ky., and the Clinton County Air Field, Wilmington, Ohio; other 7 Jan 1948 forms come from Godman Field and Madisonville, Ky.; other forms cover sightings in Dayton, Grand Falls, Bethel, Wildwood, Hackensack and near Lovelock, Nev.
