Adventure Magazine, September 1959

This document is not a pulp magazine issue but rather an official U.S. Air Force file regarding a UFO sighting near Redmond, Oregon on September 24, 1959. The contents include: an ATIC Form 39 observation record card (heavily redacted); correspondence dated April 1960 from NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) to President Eisenhower questioning alleged contradictions between Air Force and FAA reports on the sighting; military transmission records describing the sighting (an extremely bright light with protruding colored lights, observed for one hour, prompting scrambles of F-102s and other aircraft that made no contact); and ATIC's final conclusion attributing the visual sighting to Venus refraction, while treating the simultaneous radar target as a separate coincidental event.
