On or during May 27, 1952, at or near Baltimore, Maryland, United States, the source reports the following sequence: GRAESER were flying a CADWALADER's T-6 aircraft. That their plane was apparently unidentified and aircraft was not in class and in motion was seen to go up and to the left and then dropped approximately 500 feet. After CADWALADER left his state of flying, he was simulating instrument flying. During this time he believes that he saw some unusual lights spotted by MORRIS. UNCLASSIFIED WILLIAM SEERS, AF-22395762, 1413th Fighter Squadron, Harbor Field, charged of Custodian LEONARD JONES, 4017 Edmondson Ave., Baltimore, Maryland, had informed him on 27 May 1952 he had "seen those flying saucers." AT BALTIMORE, MARYLAND: 1. LEONARD JONES, 4017 Edmondson Road, advised on 16 August 1952, at Baltimore, Maryland, Education - High School and Trade School, presently employed with Bendix Radio Division, Maryland, was interviewed on 27 May 1952 and stated that on 27 May 1952, between 2330 and 2345 hours, while sitting on his front porch with his wife, he observed two (2) large, bright white lights moving at a tremendous speed and immediately disappearing. Interview of RICHARD ADAM BOSSE, 2914 Warnke Avenue, presently employed by Bendix Radio Division Maryland, on 27 May 1952 between 2230 and 2345 hours, he observed two unusual lights. At first they appeared to be standing still, but they suddenly moved in a straight line and disappeared. The lights separated, the one on my right veered upward and to the right and passed behind the second house. We observed it move rather slowly and at times seemed to float and "bob," though it was affected by air currents. It moved in an unnatural position, but when it passed behind the last house it was lost from sight. The lights appeared and disappeared without any trail whatsoever.
