INFORMATION CONCERNING
Flying Discs
Lt. Commander MELVIN MICHAEL KUHN, U. S. Navy, temporarily residing at 1900 Graybar Lane, Nashville, Tennessee, advised SAA CHARLES J. HONETOR of the Nashville Resident Agency on March 14, 1952, at approximately 2:15 p.m. of the following incident.
Mr. KUHN stated that approximately 10:20 p.m. on March 13, 1952, while standing in the back yard of 1900 Graybar Lane and looking toward the moon, which was then in the southwest section of the sky, he observed an object which appeared approximately 20 degrees above the horizon. Lt. KUHN described this object as being circular in shape, approximately one-half the size of the moon, deep bright blue in color, very vivid blue. He stated the object had a slight reddish fringe on the aft end. The object appeared to be moving from the northwest to the southeast. He stated that the object was not in his vision more than three seconds. It made no sound. Lt. KUHN stated that at the time he observed this, there were no clouds in the sky, the stars were out, and the moon was full. Lt. KUHN stated that the only way he could describe it was that it appeared to be a very high powered spotlight on a cloud, but he did not believe this could have been the cause of that which he had seen because he had not seen any spotlight or any strong search lights there during the evening.
The above is being furnished for your information, and no action is contemplated by this office unless advised to the contrary.
