UFO observed at Fort Bliss in 1949

Summary

In April 1949, at Fort Bliss, Texas, a military officer observed a flat, shiny object reflecting sunlight. The object was seen for three minutes through a powerful telescope and was described as resembling a silver dollar. A professional observer, John H. Henderson, reported it along with other members of his battery. The report concluded it was a balloon, but the object's description and behavior suggest an unusual sighting. The report was marked as declassified and is part of the records of Project 10073.
