Archivist's Notes: This document contains a report of a sighting of three UFO's of a similar circular design but of differing colour in Alberquerque, New Mexico. It is generally fairly clear - apart from the first page, with little redaction.

PDF page 1 This event has been observed by the City Firemen, Albuquerque NM on the 28 May 1952.

The objects came in from NE at high speed, started to circle and climbed out of sight. The observed color of the objects was light silver, orange and light brown.
PDF page 2 – The color of the three objects are described as being pinkish….



PDF page 3 offers a detailed report from the Kirtland Air Force Base NM:
Three unidentified flying objects were sighted over Northeast Albuquerque by tow city fire department employees at three different intervals during a day of clear skys except for a few scattered cumulus clouds over the mountainous area north and east of the city.
The first opject was sighted at 1345MST approaching from the northeast toward the observers at a high altitude and an extremely high speed. It had a circular shape, a shinning silver color, no visible source of propulsion, and no sound could be heard. The object approached to a point estimated at four miles from the observers and then rose in a sharp clockwise circle. Sight was lost because of the higher altitude attained.
Two similar objects approached at a lower altitude from above the mountains northeast of the observers at 1400MST. They moved in a straight line and appeared to move faster than the first object. Both seemed to be of the same design as the first object, but han an orange or light brown color. The object turned abruptly when they reached a point approximately on a forty degree angle to the observers and turned to a northwest course.
The objects seemed to be thirty to forty feet in diameter at this point, which was the closest approach of an object flying high over the mountains northeast of the city at 1440MST. It had the same characteristics as the first object spotted at 1345MST. The object was flying among the scattered cumulus clouds high over the mountains in a curving course from northeast to southeast. Sight was lost due to the high altitude gained by the object.
The above mentioned objects were un familiar to the observers and seemed to have no characteristics similar to aircraft seen by them in this vicinity.

PDF page 4 short report – again, the color of the UFO described in this short report is... pinkish…

Most likely this is a split report from the previous one which analyzes the sightings of few objects over the skies of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Tusla and Enid in Oklahoma. The day is the same, so is the time and especially the description of the unidentified flying objects.
