Project Blue Book: Ramstein Air Force Base UFO Encounter, March 26, 1962 (Unidentified)

Background

On March 26, 1962, at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, a significant UFO sighting was reported. The observation involved one witness.

Key Details:

• Location: Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
• Date and Time: March 26, 1962.
• Duration: The observation lasted approximately 5 to 8 seconds.
• Number of Objects: One object was observed.

Description of the Object: The object was initially seen as a small delta-shaped wing resembling a fighter aircraft. As it approached, it was described as less of a delta shape and more of a dart-shaped missile-like appearance, changing shape and showing no visible means of propulsion. The object exhibited fast movement, estimated at approximately Mach 2.

Witness Accounts:

• The pilot reported the object first appearing at the 8 o’clock position and exhibiting bright flashes. As it approached 3 o’clock position, the shape shifted from a delta wing to a dart target appearance.
• The object traveled from the three to five o’clock positions, with the pilot noting the shape change and a significant speed.

Conclusion: The Project Blue Book record card indicates that the data was insufficient for a definitive evaluation. The phenomenon was marked as “unidentified” due to the lack of concrete data and the unusual characteristics of the sighting that did not match any known aircraft or meteorological phenomenon.

This summary is based on the official case files from Project Blue Book, available for download below.
