Project Blue Book Case File
Constantine, Algeria, [ILLEGIBLE]Date unknown
Summary
The OCR quality of this document is too degraded to support a reliable summary. While the file mentions sightings in Constantine, Algeria; Philippeville, Algeria; and Cuenca, Spain in August 1952, the primary case material is obscured by severe scanning artifacts and illegibility across most pages.
The clearest content concerns a separate sighting at Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois on 15 August 1952, where a lieutenant colonel reported observing a bright, round object resembling a welding torch flame moving in perpendicular paths before disappearing. However, this appears tangential to the Algeria case indicated in the file metadata.
Without legible documentation of the Constantine incident itself, witness details, and investigative findings, a responsible summary cannot be constructed. The full case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives, spanning 21 pages.
