ATLANTA GA, [ILLEGIBLE]Date unknown

# Summary

On July 26, 1952, a Michigan couple traveling to Canada observed two bright lights moving across the sky near Forest, Ontario. The observers, who were listening to radio coverage of the Democratic Convention in their car, said the lights appeared as two balls of whitish light, about as bright as a star or planet, traveling in a pattern with one trailing the other. The sighting lasted roughly one and a half minutes. The lights held a steady altitude, made no sound, and vanished gradually rather than disappearing suddenly. The observers estimated the objects were moving considerably faster than a typical commercial airliner.

The observer was a university researcher with military experience. During World War II, he had served on an aircraft carrier and was familiar with conventional aircraft flight patterns at night. The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations noted that he "appeared to be sincere in reporting these unknown objects" and considered him a reliable source. The observer stated the objects were headed toward the Cleveland area and remained in the same relative position to each other throughout the sighting.

A separate incident from the same file documents five additional unidentified objects observed over Michigan in early July 1952, seen by military personnel including a B-29 bomber crew. Those objects were described as silvery white, moving at approximately six times the speed of the B-29, with no visible exhaust or contrails. The objects flew from north to south and disappeared by moving out of the observers' field of vision.

The Air Force's evaluation of the sightings is not clearly stated in the available portions of the file. The case file, comprising 22 pages, is held by the National Archives as microfilm roll T1206, Roll 12.
