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.

Incident #144, 144 a and b -- page 4 The object reported in incident ,ilia and lab was very probably a meteor. It should be noted that this object was travelling in the same direction as the one reported in w164, although separated by some 400 miles. It is not unusual for a fireball to be seen along a path several hundred miles long. There is a time discrepancy of 15 minutes between the observations, however; any connection be- tween w144 and 144a-b (in considering the meteoric hypothesis) necessarily hinges on whether this time difference was real, or not.
