July 14, 1951 — WSMR, NM — White Sands Radar/Visual

July 14, 1951 — WSMR, NM
Morning. During a guided missile launch, two radar operators at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, catch a fast-moving object on their scope. At the same time, a tracker watching a B-29 with binoculars sees a large UFO near the bomber. Another observer sights the UFO and, with a 35mm camera, shoots 200 feet of film. The UFO shows on the film as a round, bright spot. The film has never been released.[Eberhart]

No case found in BB files, so this is another one of Brad Sparks made-up unknowns based on his own opinions:
