Lt. James O. Rymus

Lt. James O. Rymus, a U.S. Air Force lieutenant from Kansas City, was involved in a notable UFO sighting on June 24, 1953, alongside pilot Julius Morgan of Lithonia, GA. This incident is documented in historical UFO records from Project 1947, linking it to Air Force investigations during the early 1950s era of Projects Grudge, Sign, and the nascent Blue Book. No birth or death years are known. His primary role appears as a military observer or co-witness in aerial phenomena reports, amid a period of heightened UFO activity including Korean War sightings that influenced Pentagon briefings. No key achievements, publications, or formal testimony by Rymus are recorded in available sources; his mention is brief, highlighting the grassroots level of early UAP reporting within the military.
