Project Grudge Assessment:

I. DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT

On 12 February 1952, two MATS pilots flying a C-47 on a local flight observed a bright white object which appeared to be at 7,500 ft., to 8,500 ft. and about one-sixth the size of a rising moon.

The object was observed twice. The first time at 2030 EST, the C-47 was between Baltimore and Baltimore Friendship Airport. The object was estimated to be eight to ten miles away traveling slowly for a moment but then accelerated very rapidly and disappeared southwest of Washington, D. C.

The second time the object was observed was at about 2100 EST, the C-47 was about ten miles south of Baltimore at the time. The object appeared to approach Washington from the south and east, making a left turn toward the city. When it was within two or three miles ESS of Washington, it appeared to hover for about one minute and then it disappeared.

In both instances the object was observed for two or three minutes.

II, STATUS OF INVESTIGATION

The description of this incident is very similar to the one reported on 28 December 1951 that proved to be a helicopter carrying experimental lighting. However, checks on local traffic did not reveal a helicopter in the area on this date.

III. CONCLUSIONS

None.
