This Project Blue Book case file, digitized by the Internet Archive, covers Incident 144: two Eastern Airlines pilots reported that a wingless, cigar-shaped object with a flaming exhaust passed their DC-3 about 20 miles southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, on 24 July 1948. The file includes an OSI interview with a Robins Air Force Base employee who saw a similar object, negative aircraft traffic reports from many bases, and later correspondence. A December 1948 intelligence report found fairly consistent descriptions across four related sightings.

ATICE RPAT chiller illacery MCIAX0-3 MCIAAT 7 Dec 43 2 1. The following comments are offered regarding conclusion number 4 of the attached report: a. It does not appear logical to bring in a conclusion regarding space ships when it was not discussed in the body of the report. This is not a conclusion that is based on this report so it does not belong in "Conclusions". b. The expression, "It is now aerodynamically feasible for subject configuration to fly" implies that it was not feasible until the report was written. This does not make sense. 2. It is suggested that a conclusion to replace that discussed above merely state that an aircraft of the configuration described could support itself in flight by aerodynamic forces. 1. Incl n/e A. B.
