Project Blue Book Case File

Fort Wayne, IndianaFebruary 1955

Unidentified

Summary

The OCR quality of this case file is too poor to support an accurate summary. Pages 10 and 11, which contain the witness narrative and investigative details, are almost entirely illegible. The cover sheet and questionnaire indicate that an airline crew on flight 266 near Fort Wayne, Indiana reported objects that appeared as stars intermittently, remained stationary, then speeded up and rushed away, with the Air Force noting possible reflections as an explanation, but the substance of their account cannot be reliably extracted from the available scan. This 11-page case file is held by the National Archives.
