Project Blue Book Case File
Albuquerque, New MexicoApril 1949
Summary
A pilot saw a round, blue-green object that was very bright and heading west over Albuquerque, New Mexico in April 1949. The object simply went out (stopped glowing) after about 50 seconds. That is the extent of the reliable information in the case file. The Air Force evaluated it as unidentified. The document is 41 pages long but the OCR quality is too poor to extract a complete or confident summary from the remaining text. The full case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives.
