Kutztown, Pa., September 1952September 1952

Insufficient Data

Summary

Around early September 1952, a farmer near Kutztown, Pennsylvania, reported photographing a shiny, disc-shaped object he said was flying over his fields. The Air Force learned of this case from a radio news broadcast on September 1, 1952, rather than from a direct witness report.

The broadcast said the farmer saw the shiny disc-shaped object zooming over his fields, grabbed his camera, and photographed it. The broadcast claimed the Air Force at Wright Field had received the set of photographs.

The record card notes the source of information was a radio commentator's broadcast and that the exact date of the incident was unknown. Project 10073 is the Air Force's record for unidentified flying object reports. No firsthand witness statement, weather data, or Air Force conclusion is included in the document.
