This National Security Agency release begins with an 18 July 1955 cover letter from the Air Force Special Security Office, Northeast Air Command, sending the Director of NSA reports on UFOB sightings in the NEAC area. It contains RB-47 radar and visual contacts over the Canadian Arctic in June 1955, plus signed statements on a July 1955 KC-97 and radar sighting near Harmon AFB, Newfoundland. The release also includes a 1958 intelligence report on unexplained radar tracks in the Panama Canal Zone and a later mission report noting a bright light.

ESTIMATED 50 MILES. I ALSO TOLD THEN IT WAS MOVING VERY RAPIDLY SOFTENING LIKE THOSE FLYING SACERS. SHORTLY THEREafter, 'ARCHIE 29' CALLED 'EBRAGE' CONTROL AND VERIFIED MY ACCOUNT OF THE OBJECT. AFTER POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF 'ARCHIE 29', THE DISCUSSION OF THE OBJECT WAS REFERRED TO AS TO ITS POSITION FROM 'ARCHIE 29'. I VERIFIED ALL OF 'ARCHIE 29's' INFORMATION AND CONTINUED WATCHING THE OBJECT UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES FROM HARRIS FIELD. FROM THE INFORMATION 'EBRAGE' WAS GIVING 'ARCHIE 29', IT WAS APPARENT THAT 'ARCHIE 29' WOULD MAKE ANY FURTHER REPORT ON THE OBJECT, SO I DECIDED TO LAND AT HARRIS AND CLEARED FROM THE 'EBRAGE' FREQUENT SIGNED LT. ROBERT W. SCHNECK AO-775721 AIRCRAFT CORRIDR, KC-97 97TH APS (TDI ERAFT PART 6. "AFTER WE FINISHED OUR REFUSLING RUN AT APPROXIMATELY 0700Z, WE RETURNED ON OUR HORIZON COURSE AND WE READR LT SCHNECK REPORT THE BRIGHT LIGHT THAT WAS MOVING VERY FAST AND ERRATICALLY. RIGHT AFTER THAT THE AIRCRAFT CORRIDR Saw THE OBJECT AND POINTED IT OUT TO ME. I COULD SEE IT. IT LOOKED LIKE A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT, LIKE A STAR. WE TURNED TOWARDS THE LIGHT AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED MOVEMENT. IT APPEARED STATIONARY FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THEN IT MOVED IN EITHER NORTHERLY OR SOUTHERLY DIRECTIONS AT DIFFERENT TIRES. EACH TIME IT MOVED, WE TURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO KEEP IT AT 12 O'CLOCK POSITION. 'EBRAGE' FIRST REPORTED WE WERE 45 MILES FROM THE OBJECT. THE SKY WAS FAIRLY LIGHT ON THE HORIZON AND BY CONTRAST THE OBJECT APPEARED VERY BRIGHT. IT WAS AT ITS BRIGHTEST WHEN 'EBRAGE' INFORED US THAT WE WERE 18 MILES FROM IT. AFTER THE SKY WAS GETTING LIGHTER, THE OBJECT BECAME DIMER AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE. ABOUT 0500Z, IT DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY." SIGHLD LT.
