Project Blue Book Case File
Barksdale, AFB, LouisianaAugust 1952
Summary
The OCR quality in this case file is too poor to support a reliable summary. While the document set includes a Project Blue Book record card, an Air Intelligence Information Report, a Project 10073 Worksheet, and weather data sheet from August 1952 at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, the actual narrative content describing the sighting is heavily garbled and largely unreadable in the scanned pages.
The cover sheet indicates the case was evaluated as "Unidentified," and checkboxes suggest possible balloon and aircraft explanations were considered, but the substantive details of what was observed, by whom, when, and how the investigation proceeded cannot be reliably extracted from the OCR text provided.
The full case file, comprising 10 pages as held by the National Archives, is reproduced below.
