SUMMARY: (Enter concise summary of report. Give significance in final one-sentence paragraph. List inclosures at lower left. Begin tert of report on AF Form 112—Part II.)
On 6 January 1953, between the hours of 01302 and 11302, mysterious light
was seen in the sky northeast of Dallas, Texas. In many instances reports con-
flicted with each other. One report would give the heading of the object as —
south while another would give the heading in a different direction. The
altitude of the object also varied in the many reports,
Once the area became aware of something unusual in. the air, reports came
and was
in more frequently. The object was first sighted at Paris, Texas. an
last seén by spotters at Dallas, Texas.
Whether or not there is any tangible explanation to these sightings, it
1s not known; however ‘it is believed that we may nbpe: identified some of the
Sightings through’ our lccal sacks Ny nc bai which. we Will assist in the
current investigations being undertaken by the Air Foree in solving the many
"Flying Saucer" reports.

At O718Z on the 6th of January 1953, this unit was notified by the CAA
ARTCOG at Meecham Field, Fort Worth, Texas, that they had received numerous
calls of an unidentified flying object northeast of Dallas, Texas. Upon no-
tification of the above information, lst Lt. Bennett, Lawrence W., Director on
Duty contacted Love Field Traffic Control Tower at Dallas for verification of
the sighting. Mr. Wyle V. Moore at the Love Field Tower said that the object
could be seen from Dallas. Lt. Bennett then notified the Controller at Head-—
quarters 33rd Air Division (Defense) of the situation.
soon after the initial call, Mr. Billy Johnston of Paris, Texas called
and stated that he had observéd a mysterious object at 0130% over Paris. He
chased the object with his car for thirty minutes to Cooper, Texas. He es-—
timated the object to be at an altitude of 3500 feet. Mr. Johnston also sight—
ed the object at about 04302.
At O801Z, Lt. Bennett called Perrin Tower at Sherman, Texas, and was told
by A/2C Garson, CGC. A., Perrin Apprentice Operator, that he had seen the air-—
craft fade from sight going east.
The ACGW unit at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma reported in that they had picked up
a target by radar twenty one miles southwest of Paris, Texas. The target then
moved to a point three miles east of Bonham, Texas, which is about thirty five
miles west of Paris, Texas. The target was heading west at an estimated air
speed of 600 knots and at‘an altitude of seventy five hundred feet. The time
of the initial radar pickup was 08052. Eleven minutes later, at O816Z,. the
object faded. .No other radar contacts were made in that area which jonie be
linked to the unusual target observed by the civilian at Paris.
the direction of the radar target, west, and the direction of the object
seen by Mr, Johnston, south, do not. concur and therefore, are evidently two
different objects. The radar target is believed to have been an aircraft head~
ing for Perrin AFB, Texas. No identification can be made on Mrs Johnston's
sighting,
Mr. Wyle V. Moore at Love Field, Dallas called and gave a brief descrip-
tion of the object. He said it had a green nose and white Wing tips with a
stream like jet. Mr. Marcus V. Fechenbach, also on duty at the Love Field
tower sketched the object. A standby driver was sent to Love Field to pick
up the sketch and other information. The following two items are facsimles of
the sketch and statement. of personnel sighting the object.

"'T first saw the light at.0105 OS? north of the tower. The only color
visible at this time was red. I didn't pay any attention to it, thinking it
might be an airplane. LIebdking back again I noticed the light had moved south-
southeast. to a point east-northeast of the the tower. It appeared to turn
epi the tower. neni led me to believe this; was that the light seemed to
‘et brighter. I asked Mr. Wyle V. Moore, who was on duty with me, to look at
i light. At. this re the light hovered. for about ten minutes. I estimated
the light to be 50 miles away at about 2500 fect. It is hard to tell the dis-
tance, so therefore my estimate could be wrong. After hovering awhile the
light moved through a 25°are in about twenty minutes going up but still moving
south. @
When asked to describe: the object and to give an approximate size, Mr.
Fechenbach said:
"T cannot give the size of the object... At first sight, without the use
of binoculars, the object looked like a star. However, as soon as I used
the binoculars I noticed that the object had a definite shape. As shown
in the sketch I drew the object had many colors. Because of the protruding
nose and swept back wings, I thought it might have been a B-4/ or possibly
some kind of delta-wing plane. The outer edges of the object were very well
defined, whereas, the trailing edge with the colors changing from red to orange
seemed: to be a jet stream. I hope that the information can help you and I
have tryed to give as accurate description of the object as possible."
Mr Fechenbach's description is the best we were able to get of all the
sources of information.
A study of the weather conditions at the time of
the sky conditions were clear with a 15 mile visibil
Dew Point - 45.0, and Humidity - 66%. As to the winds aloft, we were able to
