The U.S. Air Force Flying Discs File from 1952 includes records related to reported "flying disc" incidents, such as correspondence, memoranda, reporting forms, case summaries, and administrative documentation [1]. It covers sightings from September to December 1952 and includes an incident near Tremonton, Utah, where a U.S. Navy Warrant Officer filmed unidentified objects later assessed as likely seabirds [1]. The file also references efforts to coordinate research into flying saucers and discs, including the establishment of an Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base [2].
