US Air Force, Air Materiel Command · 1949-08 · 413 pages · text by OCR

This August 1949 technical report from the US Air Force Air Materiel Command presents Project Grudge's investigation of unidentified flying objects through January 1949. Drawing on consultants including Dr. J. A. Hynek, Rand Corporation, the Air Weather Service and Dr. P. M. Fitts, it explains most of 244 incidents as balloons, aircraft, astronomical phenomena, hoaxes or psychological errors. It concludes the objects pose no direct threat to national security and recommends reducing the investigation in scope.

For example, our observer starts that the object was stationary; the other that it was moving as a object of ?°. One says the objection was 45°; the other says 70°. It is hard to collure that they were looking at the same object, or that it is so stated.

Considering 17b (L. Angler's statement, almo, it is possible that the object observed was the planet Jupiter. The location is given as equidistant and the elevation as 72°, while correspondently with the position of Jupiter at the three. The magnitude of the planet was 3.7; it would have been similar to the daylight day. It would have appeared, however, more like a playpoint or bright light than like a "blue in the sky." It is early that it would have been notlood at all, just above the observer was located; locally at the way ("material of the planet upon it"), no doubt have occurred upon it.

Considering the vast disarray in the reports, it may not be easier to suggest another, far removed, interpretation for ease or both. The soon at the time was in glorious phase, and was a little off the helium north of west. Most people are no unused to thinking of the near in that position in the daytime that they full
