Name: Bright object observed over Annapolis — home of the U.S. Naval Academy (1952)
Start: 1952-07-12
Location: Annapolis, Maryland

Project Blue Book Case #1431. On July 12, 1952, a bright object was observed over Annapolis, Maryland — home to the United States Naval Academy, the institution that trained every naval officer in the country. An unknown over Annapolis meant an unknown over the training ground of America's future admirals and fleet commanders.

Annapolis sits on the Chesapeake Bay, surrounded by military facilities — the Naval Academy, the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center, and numerous installations in the greater Baltimore-Washington corridor. July 12, 1952, was during the great wave, just one week before the first Washington radar events. The case was classified "Unknown."
