UFO's With Occupants: Pittsburgh, Kansas 1952

On 25, August of 1952 at 5:30 a.m. near Pittsburgh and Frontenac on eastern Kansas a low-hovering object was observed. This aluminum color object had a row of rectangular windows out of which a bluish light fluctuated and human forms could be detected.  Described as being shaped like two oval meat platters pressed edge to edge there were about six 12-inch fast revolving propellers.

The object was estimated to be 75 ft. long, 45 feet wide and 25 feet high. As it rose to leave, the grass of the field was blow around and moving off it gave a "whoosh" or something that sounded like a "covey of quail" taking flight.

A good overview of the details with images can be found here. Dr. J. Allen Hynek addresses it in his work from 1963. The online Project Blue Book does not contain a file for this case (the 1952 list contains one for Topeka, Wichita, and one for Meade). For some odd reason, this case was address in the famous "Report # 14." 

The reports of occupants from this time are often swept aside and filed with the "crazies" of the "Contactee" movement.  There are hints that there were more reports of alleged occupants than has previously been thought.
