On 5 September 1952, John Boehmer, a cartographic draftsman, and others on the fourth floor of 1109 N. Highland St., Clarendon VA, reported seeing what appeared to be three metallic reflective objects and two orange disk-shaped objects, with the orange objects at lower altitude moving southwesterly. Total sighting was 3-5 minutes at about 2,000 feet altitude. Two aircraft were in the vicinity (one light plane, one military). The investigating officer determined that a Franzes or Franks Jewelry Shop in Parkington, VA had hired a light aircraft to drop advertising leaflets in the same area at the same time. It is the investigator's belief that the leaflets were misidentified as unidentified objects. Capt. Benjamin L. Berkow, USAF Director of Intelligence, Headquarters Command USAF, signed.
