The Black Vault · 162 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Project Blue Book case file, released through The Black Vault, collects records on the 24 July 1948 sighting by two Eastern Airlines pilots of a wingless object about 20 miles southwest of Montgomery, Alabama. It contains teletype replies from military bases reporting no aircraft movements, a 1948 Project Sign special investigation report with an interview of a Robins Air Force Base witness, and a December 1948 intelligence report. It also includes newspaper extracts, a Harvard College Observatory letter and Hynek's Project Grudge evaluation index.

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.
