This NICAP-hosted Blue Book file, credited to Brad Sparks, collects 1949 US Air Force Office of Special Investigations reports on a disc seen over the Rogue River near Gold Beach, Oregon, on 24 May 1949. It includes signed statements from fishing party members, among them staff from the NACA Ames Laboratory at Moffett Field, along with character references and interview forms. The witnesses describe a silvery circular object with a fin that flew silently. Investigators noted that radar test kites might have drifted that far north.

## UNCLASSIFIED Jone, California . 26 July 1949. While on position near Gold Beach, Oregon during the latter part of May, 1947, and while fishing from a boat in the Rogue River in the late afternoon, my husband, called the attention of the group to see the object, circular in shape, crossing the sky at a high attitude and at a high rate of speed. I could not estimate its height and its size as large as a large passenger plane, the shaped like a sling. The sound was heard and it crossed our range of vision in two or three minutes. The day had been clear, visibility was good and the sun was just setting. Other occupants of the party who observed the object were, and my husband. There was no sound and the object traveled on a direct course. June , California Witness Thomas H Kelley S.A. 19th Sept O.L.S. UNCLASSIFIED
