What the record resolves
The record carries a face, a head, eyes, skin, hands or proportions.
Four feet, very pale, and a stiff walk, in a knee-length parka and a green cap. Height and pallor are body observations, and they are all of one the file carries: no facial features are recorded.
The record
An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

What is not settled
Two witnesses with an interest in their claim; the file states background reliability could not be determined. The Air Force mounted a scheduled observation on 20 July 1953 and the file records that the object did not appear.
