KL sling wr Po 2 ee a Declassification Authority: NND 57565 Kenneth B. Juelke AF -16233259 S/Set At 1900GCT 2 February 1953 I was occupying the right gunner's position on B-50 type aircraft No. 9365 on a routine training mission. During this period we were under simulated attack from four F-86 type fighter aircraft from George AFB, Victorville, California. I was searching for fighters in my assigned quadrant when a large jet air- craft leaving four contrails appeared at (3) three o'clock high crossing over course to (8) eight o'clock. As I observed this aircraft, I noticed a silver ball off the right wing. The ball was stationary and we left it behind. at (6) six o'clock. Total time for this observation was about (3) three minutes. The ball appeared to be made of polished metal, silver o¥ chrome. It appeared to be small, and due to this fact I could not notice any flat surfacese During the sighting I took two sequences of pictures with my G.S.AeP.e. camerae On the first sequence I turned the reticle out so that only the object remained. Inthe second sequence I turned the reticle on and placed the center dot on the left side of the object. tenn 8. tthe KENNETH B. JUELKE S/SGT.

I was searching for fighter attacks from F-86 aircraft which were in the area. I Sawa B-52 at (3). three ofclock high. As this aireraft passed, I noticed a silver object in its wake. I ealled on the interphone. "Does anyone see that silver object behind that B-52?" I was answered by my right gunner saying, "ves", Neither one of us could identify the object. We both took gun camera nictures to eonfirm the sightinge The object looked like a silver disk, first showing ste circular side and then the flat side. It first appeared high at (3) three o'clock and was left high at (4:30) four thirty. I watched until it went out of sight. CARL DWARDS f SECURITY INFORMATION Declassification Authority: NND 57565
