Project Blue Book Case #1194. On May 9, 1952, an unidentified object was observed over George Air Force Base near Victorville, California — a Tactical Air Command fighter training installation in the high Mojave Desert. George AFB trained fighter pilots in the F-86 Sabre and other frontline jet fighters, making its personnel among the most skilled aerial observers in the Air Force.
George sat in the desert between Edwards AFB and the San Bernardino Mountains, in the heart of the military's southwestern test corridor. Fighter pilots who flew daily combat training missions had intimate familiarity with high-speed aerial objects.
The case was classified "Unknown."
