Unidentified flying object sighted near Roswell in 1952

Summary

In May 1952, a U.S. Air Force airman reported an unidentified object near Roswell, New Mexico. The object, described as blue-green in color, was observed moving at high speed and following a repeated triangular course three times. The witness, an experienced maintenance specialist with eight years of service, noted how the object ascended and descended almost vertically, making it stand out in the night sky. Although its exact speed could not be determined, it was estimated to be faster than a jet aircraft.

The official report found no physical evidence or conventional explanations for the phenomenon. Possibilities such as weather balloons, aircraft, or astronomical events were dismissed. Despite investigations, the object remained unidentified. This case is part of a series of similar reports from the time, which sparked public and military interest.
