Albuquerque UFO sighting in 1952

Summary

A WWII pilot observed an elliptical yellow UFO that changed to white and disappeared in Albuquerque, New Mexico in July 1952. The witness described an object without visible aerodynamic features that decreased in size but not intensity. The sighting lasted three minutes, with no sound or apparent speed. Although two aircraft were in the area, it was unclear if the object's lights came from one of them. The report includes coordinates and weather data from the time.

The pilot described an unforgettable experience, noting the object appeared slightly transparent and luminous. He did not officially report the sighting but recalled the details decades later. The declassified document is part of the U.S. Air Force archives and highlights the variety of UFO reports from that era.
