Background

At 11:00 a.m. on 22 March 1950, eleven sergeants of the 4925th Test Group observed a UFO northwest of Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, in daylight. The shape was described as "similar to a flying wing air craft and tan in color, turning to brown around the edges." The object first travelled northwesterly at 25,000 to 30,000 feet, then turned north and disappeared with a tremendous burst of speed. The case is documented by NICAP and listed in Brad Sparks's catalogue of Project Blue Book unknowns. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
