Warner Robins, Georgia, [ILLEGIBLE]Date unknown

On September 16, 1952, multiple observers near Warner Robins, Georgia reported seeing two bright white objects moving across the sky. The sightings occurred around midday and early afternoon, with the objects described as perfectly round, traveling in a horizontal path at an estimated altitude of between four thousand and seven thousand feet. The Air Force interviewed four separate witnesses, each of whom saw the objects from different locations around the base.

The first witness, a civilian living three miles west of Robins Air Force Base, observed the objects at approximately 1:30 p.m. He saw two bright white lights traveling from the northeast to southwest, moving at about 100 miles per hour and staying roughly 700 feet apart. The visibility was good, and he watched for about fifteen minutes before the objects disappeared. He heard no sound and noticed no directional beams of light.

A second observer, identified as an Air Force pilot, reported seeing two yellowish-white balls of light over the base at roughly the same time. This witness noted that on two occasions, both objects emitted small bluish flames from underneath, with emissions occurring thirty seconds to a minute apart. The objects were traveling at approximately 100 miles per hour at an altitude of about five thousand feet. He also observed them for around fifteen minutes before they vanished.

Two additional witnesses provided similar accounts. One observer at a drive-in theater saw the objects to the east-northeast, describing them as white balls of light with a yellowish cast. He estimated their speed at around seventy to eighty miles per hour and watched as they made a slight turn toward the west and then southwest as they passed over the base. Another witness, also at a drive-in theater, described the objects as yellowish-white and perfectly round, and noted that when they were about a mile and a half away, they appeared to be roughly five feet in diameter.

The Air Force checked with the base weather station and confirmed that no weather balloons (used to measure atmospheric conditions) were released on that date. Base control tower records showed one military aircraft in the area during the sighting window. Inquiries with civilian airports in the region identified several commercial and military aircraft that were airborne at the time, though pilots who were questioned said they saw the objects only briefly during their approach to the base and gave them little attention.

None of the four witnesses reported hearing sound, vibration, smoke, flame, or odor from the objects, aside from the bluish flames one observer noted. All witnesses drew sketches attempting to depict the shape and position of the objects. All stated they had no particular interest in flying saucers prior to their sightings and had read only what appeared in newspapers about the subject. The file does not state a final Air Force conclusion about what the objects were. The complete case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives, with 19 scanned pages.
