Project Blue Book Case File

Tampa, Fla., March 1958March 1958

Insufficient Data

Summary

The OCR text from this file is too heavily degraded to extract reliable details about the sighting itself. While the first page shows this was a Project Blue Book case from Tampa, Florida in March 1958, and checkboxes on the cover card reference several possible conclusions including "Probably Balloon," the subsequent pages are largely illegible. Garbled text appears throughout pages 2-12, making it impossible to construct an accurate account of what was observed, by whom, or how the Air Force investigated the case. The full case file, comprising 12 pages as held by the National Archives, is reproduced below.
