341_110677_Numerical_File,_5-2500 U.S. Air Force Air Intelligence Information Report dated 14 October 1955 (RG 341 / Records of HQ USAF, numerical file 5-2500, NARA accession NND 857013), documenting an eye-witness account of the ascent and flight of an unconventional aircraft in the trans-Caucasus region of the USSR. This is the official AF intelligence write-up of the famous Senator Richard B. Russell Jr. UFO sighting from a train near Adzhijabul/Baku, Azerbaijan SSR on 4 October 1955.
The Russell trans-Caucasus UFO sighting and the underlying CIA, FBI, and Air Force reports on it were declassified in 1985 and have been publicly discussed in UFO literature for decades. CIA memoranda on the incident are in the CIA Reading Room, and the AF intelligence reports have been cited by researchers (e.g., Donald Schmitt, Brad Sparks) and excerpted at sites like ufoevidence.org and theblackvault.com. RG 341 file 110677 is held at NARA. Whether this exact PDF (with these particular page images and authority stamp NND 857013) has been previously digitized and posted publicly is not confirmed in the available searches; the underlying record has been available to NARA researchers since the 1985 declassification, and the case content is well-known.
