1. This report is not sufficiently
evaluation to be made. Obviously, photos of an object 'thought to be the same
two days earlier are of no value.
2. However, based on the above, and considering the number of people who
observed the object(s)visually and on radar, there is no solid factual data to
indicate just what these people did see. The erratic movements of the targets on
the scope of course sound like anomalous propagation; but this does not explain
the visual sightings. This report appears to fall in the category of those
incidents which cannot be satisfactorily explained.

the above information to Lt. Short, the Senior Director on duty. Inmed-
iately I turned again to check the object and found it had already moved
into a range of ninty (9o) miles in this short time. I next estimated
the speed of the object to be between 500 and 600 knots. For the re-
mainder of the time we carried the object at approximately 550 knots
while it seemed to be pulling stalls while changing
eratically.
At l7:55I I was able to get outside operations to view the object.
At first visual sighting I judged th he object to be SSW of this station.
I did not get the immediate impression that the object was a star fo
the following reasons: (1) It seemed much too close, (2) To thermaked
eye it cast off a white light not at all hazy or with any blaish haze,
times to assure myself f this movement. At a later time the object
seemed to move in the opposite direction ( Westward ) until it finally
faded from view of other observers. I think that th overlay, flight
pattern later made up from plots on the object will verify the above.
As I sighted the object through the binoculars at xactly l300I T saw
the following:

change shape and length and had the appearance of a jet or rocket blast.
For some few seconds the object seemed have a reddish cast surrounding
it, but I believe this was inate in the focusing of the binocular lens
rather than the object itself.
At exactly l&o3I I returned to the Senior Director dais in operations
and drew a picture as presented above. T thought that my oum first im-
pressions should be recorded immediately ybefore talking about the object
with others who saw it. From this time (0805I) emained at the Senior
Directors desk until the object faded the Plughat HRI and visually
outside. I recorded the facts of range altitude, azimuth, etc. of the
object as related by the crew chief, SSgt. Myrick, and other facts and
times of actions concerning the object as they happened, all of which
were submitted immediately following the incident.

object four times for periods of about three minutes each. The first
two times I saw it, the intensity of light was v bright. The last
two times, the glow was not quite as bright. (My sightings were at app-
roximately 0855Z, 09l0Z, 0940Z, and 0950z.) I viewed n a pair

light seemed the sar oval form, but the left side glowed
with rays of light much brighter than the right side. There were three
long steady arms of light extending from the left side. These were -
fron two to three times larger and longer than the other rays, and were

16 December 1957
At approximately l83or, 12 December, my attention v was called to an
illuminated object, Southwest of this station. It was a circular object
and looked like a landing light of aircraft, except it seemed distant
and extremely bright. The objects il llumination seemed to fluctuate. I
observed the phenomemon until approximately l930 at which time it seemed
to be moving West Southwest and illumination decreasing in intensity.

Someone must have gotten the bright idea to turn our HRi antenha in that
direction because we did have something painting at that azimuth. I don!t
renember the range and azinuth at tne tine we first picked it up but the
closest ran_e was about forty miles and its lowest altitude was about SW
twelve thousand feet. Its Speed was terrific. Since it wes constantly
orbiting we could get no definite speed n tne HRI its moveuents were
to and Irom this station, up and down in altituue, and north and south
fron about 220 degree to about 320 degrees.
Later when I went out to look at the light, it looked dimmer.
Fighters were scrambled on it. When they got close to it they w were
supposed to have said it disappeared.

aid of binoculars and was about three (3) times brighter than the
brightest star. It was approximately at a ten (lo) degree angle up from
us. I looked at binoculars and it appeared to be round
with a very brilliant glow all around it. It seemed to be closer than
any star in sky and upon fixing the binoculars in a stationary
position it was observed mexing in a northern direction and tracking
approximately North Nortawest. I observed it for about ten (10) minutes
and intermittently from hen on until it disappeared aporoximately

My first impression of the UFo was that it was from the Southwest
It appeared to be in somekind of an orbit moving West and then to the
East. It was a Whitish color and quite bright. When I first saw it
it appeared quite close. After visual contact I went to the HRI and
picked up a blip flying between 12 and 2l thousand feet. Returning
for a second visual I found the object to be dimming and moving in a
Westerly direction.

It was too close and too brignt to b.a star) After I looked at it for a
couple of minutes I came inside and begen tracking it on the scope. From
the way it appeared on the scope it amount oK acceleration wes tremendous.
It varried altituue at almost every move. At Sne time I conputea its Speed
at better than 7oo miles per hour. Then when tha fighters scramoied on it
and got within a radius of about 70 miles, it. justvanished. I mignt add
that it wasn't a reflection off of some clouds oecause there were no
clouds in the sky.

REMARKS--Site P-45 assumed control of Subway Red at O929Z and imnediately
was vectored toward the object. P-45 was painting the object by the Height
Range Indicator and visually. Subway Red reported he had a visual on the
object at O939z but lost it almost simultaniously. At O955z the aircraft
reported a visual on bright object off their port wing, but wasn't moving.
In the meantime, site P-45 had lost contact, both visually and electronically
with the object and Subway Red was told to anchor his position. Site 29
advised they were observing the object at a bearing of 2 110 miles from
Site 45. Subway Red was vectored immediately 230, and obtained i another
visual, but the object wasn't moving latterally, but vertically. The aircraft
lost the object and were broken off at ll:O2z. Later, S 29 reported that
the object they were observing was a reciprocal.
