Unidentified object observed near Gander trans-Atlantic refueling station, Newfoundland (1952)

Project Blue Book Case #2119. On September 23, 1952, an unidentified object was observed near Gander Lake, Newfoundland. Gander Airport was one of the world's most important trans-Atlantic aviation waypoints — virtually every flight between North America and Europe stopped to refuel at Gander before jet aircraft made non-stop crossings routine. The airport's comprehensive flight logging meant every arriving and departing aircraft was meticulously documented. The case was classified "Unknown."
