Pulp Magazine Cover, October 1953

This document is not a pulp magazine but a declassified U.S. military UFO sighting report (Form FTD ser e3 0-329). The report documents a weather observation and unidentified aerial phenomenon encountered on an unspecified date. The text describes atmospheric conditions—hazy with scattered clouds—and records an observation of a round, white or aluminum-colored object sighted approximately 15 degrees above the north-northeast horizon against a blue sky. The object reportedly had a slight haze around it and departed from view by traveling in a northwesterly direction. The document bears declassification markings indicating it was downgraded after a specified interval per Department of Defense Directive 5200.10. The heavily degraded OCR renders much of the remaining text illegible.
