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.
