1951 - Albuquerque, New Mexico UFO

Was this object seen by witnesses in possible  two locations in 1951 an experimental craft with "invasion stripes"?  The stripes in WW2 and until June 1951 were markings so that ground forces and artillery could identify friend from foe.  Would this have been why - when queried - tower personnel could honestly say it was an aircraft even if they might be unable to tell more then that about the object?

Not all the files in Project Blue Book are mysterious in the sense of their place of origin being in question - sometimes it is merely trying to identify which super secret project they were protecting at the time people observed the experimental craft.

Trust me, there are still many, many high strange cases that suggest something out of the ordinary was happening. Separating the wheat from the chaff is the issue.
