Project Blue Book Case File
10mi. E Vaugn, N.M., November 1948 - Incident Number: 225November 1948
Summary
I have carefully reviewed all 12 pages of this OCR'd case file. The document is severely degraded and largely illegible. While pages 1 through 5 show some promise of readable text, the OCR quality deteriorates significantly from page 6 onward, rendering most of the substantive content indecipherable. Key passages that should explain what was observed, when it was observed, and how it was investigated are either garbled beyond recovery or missing entirely.
The case file concerns a sighting near Vaughn, New Mexico, in November 1948 (Incident Number 225), which the U.S. Air Force evaluated as "unknown." The document appears to include witness statements and official correspondence from December 1948, but the OCR transcription does not preserve enough coherent text to support an accurate summary that meets publication standards.
Rather than speculate or reconstruct details from illegible fragments, the responsible approach is to note that this case file, as presented in this OCR'd form, cannot be reliably summarized. The full case file of 12 pages is reproduced below as held by the National Archives.
