Quetta, India, November 1952November 1952

Insufficient Data

Summary

This report covers a news item from Quetta, in the Baluchistan region, dated November 18, 1952. An assistant U.S. air attache forwarded a newspaper clipping from The Times of India to Air Force intelligence.

The article said tribesmen reported seeing objects described as flying saucers trailing bluish flames. The objects were said to streak across the evening skies on two days during the prior week. The reports said the objects lit an area of 30 to 40 miles with a bright beam.

The article also noted that, several months earlier, two pilots said they saw similar objects high above Karachi. The Air Force record card lists the conclusion as possibly meteors.

This is a secondhand account drawn from a foreign newspaper, not a firsthand military observation. It was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports.
