1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident
This was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C.
The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19--20 and July 26--27.
At 11:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 1952, Edward Nugent, an air-traffic controller at washington National Airport, spotted seven objects on his radar.
The objects were located 15 miles south-southwest of the city; no known aircratt were in the area and the objects were not following any established flight CER paths. Nugent's superior, Harry Barnes, a senior air-trattic controller at the airport, watched the objects on Nugent's radarscope.
He later wrote:
"We knew immediately that a very strange situation .their movements were completely radical/ at compared to those of ordinary aircraft" .
Barnes had two controllers check Nugent's radar; they found that it was working normally. Barnes then called National Airport's other radar center; the controller there, Howard Cocklin, told Barnes that he also had the objects on his radarscope. Furthermore, Cocklin said that by looking out of the control tower window he could see one of the objects:
"a bright orange light. I can't tell what's behind it"
