NGD-2-53 — 1953-07-26 — Deer Creek Springs, Nevada (Spring Mountains)
Narrative
Beginning around 11:00 on 26 July 1953 at Deer Creek Springs, Nevada in the Spring Mountains, two civilians from Nellis AFB observed for about an hour a round flat disc-shaped object, bright silver metallic, that reflected the sun brilliantly at times. The object appeared to rotate on its own axis while remaining in one spot, alternately showing side view and top/bottom view; a slight whitish vapor was visible at times near the object but its source could not be indicated. They estimated 100 ft diameter at 70,000 ft (though they offered no basis for those estimates). The men used naked eye and two pairs of binoculars (7-power and 10-power). After resting their eyes briefly, they returned to find the object had disappeared. The Group Intelligence Officer found the observers sincere and reliable and could give no logical explanation since no balloons or aircraft were in the area at that time.
