During the morning two radar operators at a missile tracking site
caught a fast-moving object on their scope. At the same time a
tracker watching a B-29 with binoculars saw a large UFO near the
bomber. Another observer sighted the UFO and, with a 35mm camera,
shot 200 feet of film. The UFO showed on the film as a round,
bright spot. (The film has never been released.)

Then, slowly, sightings began to increase. One new and important report came from the guided-missile tracking base near White Sands, New Mexico. On the morning of July 14 [1951], two radar operators caught a fast-moving object on their scope. At the same time a tracker watching a B-29 with binoculars saw a large UFO near the bomber. Another observer quickly lined it up with his 35-mm. camera, then shot 200 feet of film. Because of the high altitude, the saucer showed only as a round, bright spot. But at least it was proof-this was no hallucination.

Project 1947 Comment: The USAF has stated that this report is not in their files. There may be references to this case in "Report EHO-41 dated 25 July 1951, Holloman Air Force Base." Unfortunately, Report EHO-41 is missing from the Project Blue Book files. However, Ruppelt mentioned the report in Status Report #5 and in his interview with LOOK magazine. Portions of the material in EHO-41 are contained in various case files in the Project Blue Book files, but the complete report is missing. Where Keyhoe obtained his information is unstated.
