Project Blue Book Case File

Unidentified

Summary

The OCR quality of this file is too poor to support a reliable summary. Pages 2, 5, 6, and 7 are substantially illegible. While the cover sheet (page 1) indicates a sighting in Jacksonville, Florida in August 1957 involving an object in front of the moon, and pages 3 and 4 show Air Force correspondence from October 1961 acknowledging a witness's letter about the 1957 sighting, the core details of what was observed, how the investigation proceeded, and the reasoning behind the Air Force's evaluation cannot be recovered from this OCR text. The full case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives in 7 pages of microfilm (T1206, Roll 28).
