Greetings Lists,
I'm looking for information on the April 5, 1948 Holloman AFB incident. I couldn't find anything on the NARA site with the keywords of Hollman or April 5, 1948. This is a BB Unknown, however, and this unverified snip appeared on a site found on Google:

Afternoon. Witnesses: Geophysics Lab balloon observers Alsen, Johnson, Chance. Two irregular, round, white or golden objects.  One made three loops then rose and disappeared rapidly; the other flew in a fast arc to the west during the 3O-second sighting.
