This is an Air Intelligence Information Report dated 22 July 1952 and prepared by Capt. Benjamin L. Berkon, USAF Director of Intelligence, Headquarters Command. It records interviews with control tower operators at Washington National Airport about unidentified objects on 19 and 20 July 1952. Five unidentified targets appeared on radar over Andrews Air Base, and Andrews tower confirmed seeing three objects. Controllers also saw an orange disk, and a Bolling AFB tower operator saw a roundish object drifting low in the sky.
