Summary
The OCR from this 61-page file is too fragmentary and incomplete to support an accurate summary. Pages 1-9 contain teletype messages and official correspondence related to film footage shot during an X-15 aircraft flight, discussing media release protocols and whether NASA footage shows unidentified objects. Pages 10-30 consist largely of scanned images with garbled text, magazine articles, and administrative announcements. No coherent primary narrative about a UFO sighting emerges from the legible portions.
On April 29, 1962, the Air Force recorded a case at Edwards Air Force Base, California, involving film footage taken during an X-15 rocket plane flight. The investigation file appears related to photographic evidence from that mission. However, the file's legible content focuses primarily on the bureaucratic handling and media release of the imagery rather than describing any unidentified object observed during the flight. The full case file of 61 pages is reproduced below as held by the National Archives.
