Project Blue Book Case File
Georgetown, MassachusettsFebruary 1956
Summary
I cannot write a responsible summary of this case.
The OCR quality of pages 3-8 is too poor to read reliably. The text is so heavily garbled that I cannot safely extract specific facts about what was observed, when, by whom, or what the Air Force concluded. Attempting to summarize from this material would mean inventing details or making unsupported inferences from noise.
What I can extract with confidence from the readable portions (pages 1-2):
On February 1956 in Georgetown, Massachusetts, a civilian reported seeing a group of "saucers" on a clear, sunny day. About half an hour later, the witness reported seeing two more objects, only closer. The witness wrote to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover about the possibility the objects were Russian. The witness was noted as an avid reader of UFO authors Donald Keyhoe and Frank Scully, with "obvious psychological motives in reporting objects." The Air Force evaluator marked the report "unreliable" and noted no other corroborating information beyond the witness's history of observing flying saucers.
The rest of the file is too degraded to summarize responsibly. The full case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives, 8 pages.
