Pulp Magazine Cover, October 1953

This document contains a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet regarding an unidentified flying object report from October 7, 1953, filed by the 85th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The questionnaire (Form A) collects data from a witness including observation date, time, duration (in hours, minutes, seconds), location, sky conditions, object characteristics, motion patterns, and apparent size. The witness was outdoors when observing the object in bright daylight. Questions address whether the object changed brightness, shape, or direction; whether it moved behind or in front of clouds; its apparent solidity; and estimated distance and speed. Form B requests a narrative summary of the event with details in chronological order. The document is marked "Unclassified" throughout. Significant OCR degradation prevents accurate transcription of the witness's handwritten responses and narrative sections.
