Project Blue Book Case File
BOSTON, MASS., July 1952July 1952
Summary
The OCR quality of this file is too poor to support an accurate, detailed summary. Pages 1 and 11 are largely illegible. While later pages contain more structured information, including weather bureau observations, military intelligence reports, and witness statements, substantial portions remain garbled or unclear, making it difficult to extract reliable facts without speculation.
What is legible shows that on July 22, 1952, multiple observers at and near Boston, Massachusetts reported unusual aerial phenomena, including a bright object tracked through a theodolite at Logan Airport and sightings by naval personnel at Squantum Naval Air Station. Weather conditions were clear. However, critical details about the object's characteristics, the full conclusions of investigators, and the Air Force's final evaluation are obscured or fragmented in the OCR text.
The full case file as held by the National Archives is reproduced below in these 19 pages.
