Owen L. Schwatka, AO 3053051, and Captain Earl G. Weaver, 521524, of the llth
Fighter Intercept Squadron, stationed at DULUTH Municipal Airport (FANB 5052),
Minnesota, took off in two (2) F-l02As from DULUTH for a practice intercept proble
approximately seventy-five (75) North of DULUTH. t. Schwatxa's aircraft was
designated as COUSIN RED I and Captain Weaver's as RED II. COUSIN RED FLIGHT took
off at 1402152 time on a 360 degree heading utilizing the scramble corridor. RED I
pilot stated that while he was climbing from angels 15 to 15 he was contactad by
GALAHAD 15 (P-69) controller and asked if he encountered any jamming or any tarsets
n his scope at that altitwde. At this time 22D I noticed an AI (Air Intercept)
contact on his scope at 12 o'clock, 16 miles. RED I further stated that the contact
had the appearance of.chaff but that it could have been a ground return. le estinat-
* the contact's position to be F<NB 5059. (Refer to Fig. #1, Pt. $). RED I then
tated that he closed rapidly on the target at 320 knots indicated. Shortly there-
te RZD I stated that the target faded from the scope. Then RED I was vectored on
a 150 degree heading by GALAHAD 15 and told to search tha area for any target. RD I
then stated that RED I, II and GALAYAD 15 discussed the situation and decided to '
continue on tuei r practice interceot mission. GALANAD 15 had RED I and II break off
and then set-up RED { and II on a practice intercept. GALAUAD vectored RED I (tarzet
ship) on a 180 degree heeding and RED TI on an intercept angle of seventy (70) degrees
right of RED I's tail. When RED I was over Pt. 4, Fig. fl, he looked over his right
ant othy and saw RED II closing in on him at about 20 miles; at the same time he
oticed a bright light at Pt. 1, Fig. fl, and thought the light was chasing 25D II.
2ED T stated that the bright ‘Light looked similar to an aircraft afterburner. RED I
called 25D II to tell him about the light. RED I stated the light pulsated from
bright to dim and that it appeared to have a red and green beacon (red on top and
green on the bottom). RED I stated that just prior to the completion of the practica
intercep® he called RED II and asked him if he would get on a 190 degree heading afta
the intercept and search for the un!imown rn 22D I stated the completed practice
intercept occurred at Ft. 5, Mg. fl, and that 22D II called him and said he had sean
the same light, however, RED II thought that it was a ground light. RD I was at

RED I and II to intercept the bogey if at all possible. 88D I and IT then put on
maximun power (Gate) on a 290 degree heading and saw the bogey at 9130 o'clock, South

west of DULUTH (Pt. 7, Fig. ith) s at about 20 miles. sig I stated t4:t6 he was held to i

ground map position (200 nautical mile range), and received a tarzet blip 2% 45 milea.

the bogey at the Be52's eight o'clock >osition and that tha 3-52 hed printed 2 bogey
on his tail radar. 82D I believed the callsign of the 852 was either TOM CAL 33 or
TOM CAT 34. GALANAD then vectore? 22D I ona ” 340 desree heading. On this hedding
RAD I stated that the bogey anneaared to be crossing a streight line for by the
lights of the range grat et angels 33, ond at his 3 o'cloc’c vosition. R&D IT then
called RED I and said t he was now in the area where the 3-52 was when he called
ag and that he seen “the same lignt. Neither X2aD I nor Ii were able to close in
the bogey so they decide? to go home. On the way hoes RED I and II ran a couple
of practice intercepts. During these practice intercents, 2") I experienced a short
period of electronic jamming. The jamning was overcome by depressing the tuneable
magnatron button. RED I suspected the jamming to be electronic interference from
RED Ii's radar. GALAHAD then called RED I and II an ond asked if they still could see
the bogey. Both pilots reported? negative results RZD I then returned to hie
original sighting position to sea if he could again sight the bogey. ie was unable
to sight the bogey at this time so he returned to his home base.

Ie SOURCE: Captain Earl G. Weaver, 52152A, USAF
Address: llth FIS, DULUTH Municipal Airport, Minnesota
Ages 34 DOB: 5 Santenber 192/.
Occupations Pilot, USAF

- Education: High School Graduate = 1942

aw Qualifications: Cadet Mlying School - 19453; Jet Trensition School-
A 1°49; Intercevt Yearons — (IWS); Total
© hours flying time = 5200 hours.

If, RSLIASILITY: Captain Weaver was cooperatives, amicable and sincers. Hs
arpeared of above average intelligence. The llth FT5 vpereShane Officer stated that
the Source was very reliable and dependable pilot. Sourcs's memory appeared very
retentive. Source's information appears to substantiate other information on the
sighting previously submitted. All information was submitted voluntarily.

III. SOMURCE'S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: On 14 March 1959 at 0215Z hours, Captein
Earl G. Weaver, SN 52152A and lst Lt. Owen L. Schwatka, AO 3058051, of the llth FIS,
stationed at DULUTH Municipal Airport, Minnesota (F*!B 5052) took off in F-102As on
an intercept problem approximately 75 miles north of DULUTH, Minnesota at 35 angels,
300° radial, .65 mach for RED II and .75 mach for R2D I. Lt. Schwatka's aircraft was
Gesivznated as RED I and Captain Weaver's as RED II.

RED I was the simulated terget and RED II the interceptor. RID I was on a
190° heading and RED II was on an approximate heading of 120°, After RED II
completed the intercept, RED I noticed a visual object to his right during the time
that RED II was completing the intercept. RED I called GALAYAD AC&W Site (F*PC 4525)
waile aircraft was flying at 38 angels and reported an unknown object between 0245Z-=
02502 hours. RZD II overheard 22D I querry GALAHAD if he had anything in the area,
GALASAD directed RED I to search for the unknown object. R&D II also started

searching.

RSD I aircraft turned directly to the target (un’mown object) and reported
a heading of 300° to GALAHAD. RED II turned aircraft right to a heading of 270°
which put the object at 12 o'clock. RED II renorted the object a3 a bright white
light that would dim to somewhat of a reddish glow. The light appeared round in
shane, Captain Weaver had experienced a similar light in the same position,
elevation and azimuth wise during another flight on 1 March 1959 while flying from
Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio to MI'MIEAPOLIS, Minnesota (7 MQ 3556) to DULUTH Municipal
Airport, Minnesota. The sighting on this Wright-Patterson flight was first sighted
at 34 angels and later at 32 angels altitude and 300 knots indicated. The pilot
never did clos3 on the light. Prior to the time the pilot realized that he was not
following his flight leader but rather some sort of a light instead of a plane,
According to the pilot the light varied from bright to dim. The weather on the
Wright-Patterson to DULUTH Municipal Airport, iinnesota was clear from 1700 - 4000
feet, and it was a very dark night. Ths sams conditions prevailed on the day of
sighting the unicnown light. The pilot stated that the lignt was brighter than any
planet or stars he had ever seen. The pllot rollowed the light at a normal cruising
speed of .S5 mach, 270° and 33 angels. The GCI Site at GALAHAD, SIN EMiD, vinnesota
asked tae pilot if he had seen the light. The pilot confirmed the sighting of the
licht, but was not gaining on it. The pilot flew a 270° course for approximately L9
minutes. The pilot had no target on his radar scopee The pilot stated that he had

COMMENTS OF THE PREPARING OF ICs

> The opinion of the Preparing Officer is that the unidentified visual |
sightings probably were toe planet Venus.

a. According to tne Air Almanac of 1959, the vosition of the planst Venus
nt wth tae period of sighting indicates that Venus was located on a 300? hes .ding, 15°
e the horizon, and had a magnitude of three (3). As this report indicates, ths
ec teat tr of the visual sightings were observed in 2 wasterly direction and above the
horizon.

b. On the basis of obtained information, it is bslisved that the electronic
sightings should be evalusted 1s "Unknown" dus to the absence of any recorted aircraf
in the sighting area which would have been conducting electronic or chaff jamming.
Further checks are being made with the 23th Bomb Wing, Zllsworth Ar8, South Dakota to
datermine if there is any possibility whatsoever of an unrsported 310 aircraft
conducting unreported 20M operations in the area of the sighting at the time of
sighting. Information will be forthcoming as obtained.

~ Attached report (D7-UFOB-2-59) is principally concerned with visual
sightings of flashing colored lights. The apparent AI radar sightings reported

the other F-102 pilot did not obtain any radar contacts. Finally, neither the F-&9

nor the ground radar reported any contact with the UFO. Hence, it is suggested
that this report be evaluated on the basis of the visual sightings rather than the

reported meager radar data.

b. The reports of airborne contacts cannot be evaluated as actual airborne b.The reports of airborne contacts cannot be evaluated as actual airborne
objects due to lack of visual sighting and the target fade as, the interceptors
approached the radar target.
c. APGC Operational Test Report, dated May 1958, on the AN/FPS-2OA indicates
that a peculiar. phenomenon known as "angels" was experienced during the testing of
this equipment. The "argels" appear as circular blips, some of which are very
intense and others barely visible. Also, some remained fixed for certain periods
then disappeared only to reappear in other areas, and some were seen to travel in
during the test, although several theories were considered. Bendix Corporation
is reported to be developing a network to eliminate this phenomenon, however no
information is available.
d. Since the AN/FPS-6, height finder, was unable to pick up the targets at
such a close range, it is believed that the phenomenon of "angels" could have been
responsible for the UFO.

distance to within two (2) miles with radar lock-on at an estimated speed of
400 knots. During this closing period the Radar Observer indicated he saw
something that might be chaff. The pilot had no visual contact with the UFO.
At various times during tl closing period the Radar Observer had as many as
four contaots at one time w he believed to be airborne objects. He also
had ground clutter on his ra dar during time of lock-on. The aircraft was
locked on the UFO for aporoximately two (2) minutes at the two (2) mile
distance before the lock-on was broken, either intentionally or unintentionally
(Refer to Fig. #l, Pt. F7). The aircraft pursued the UFo for approximately
two (2) minutes after the lock-on was broken before returning to DULuTh
(Refer to Fig. 1, Pt. 3) because of lack of fuel.

I had two radar, contacts. The first was at aroind 3o right belor the
ground clutter. Lock-on was made however'electronic jamming seemed to be
incurred and lockon could not e maintsined. 2nd lockon was made and then
broke lock. An overtake greater than PaS was gotten. The targets then a
appeared to cut into me and crossed in front of scope tdth great rapidity.
The second contact vas made but not so defined as the second.
The visual contact described previously ie believed to bo an optical
illusion.
In this pilots opinion, dofinite airborne objects were seen on the radar,
hovever no interception was possible.

UFO SIGHTING, DULUTH, MINNESOTA
13 March 1959
On 13 Mareh 1959, at 0020z, and on 14 March at O22OZ, an unidentified
flying object was sighted from the Duluth, Minnesota area. The object
was reported to have been observed both visually and radar by military
vantage points o color of the
object, as reported by the witnesses, was red, orange, green or white.
The shape was reported as tubular or round.

Venus as an Eccnir 'ar
In the spring of 1959 Venus again, this time in the evening, caused
with visibility of about fifteen miles, an unidentified flying object reports of flying saucers. At 6:20 P.Mt. on March 13. a clear evening
was sighted in the western sky near D , Minnesota [1]. Wit-
nesses described its shape as tubular or round and its color as red, r Defense Com-
orange, green, or white. Two interceptors of the mand were scrambled to investigate and head led for the object at
top speeds, but thcy could get no closer and eventually gave up the chase and landed. Military personnel at ground stations and in the
air observed the object visually and picked up radar returns; it disappeared, after about thirty minutes, by fading from sight. Al-
suddenly, on others it rushed off the scope at incredible es speeds.
Contact was intermittent, for short periods of from ten seconds to a minute, and each new contact gave a different position for the
target. At the time of the sighting Venus was just on the western horizon,

RED I was in the vicinity of FKP3 3O46, RED I called RED II and informed him
that, while looking over his right shoulder to check on RED II's position, he
noticed what he described as a red/orange glow off the wing RED I
thought it was an aircraft using afterburner and chasing RED II. Approximately
angels, at .75 mach. He radioed that he had visual contact on an orange light
which was possibly over DULuTli. RED I said that the light was pulsing from
bright to dim. RED I then radioed RED II to look towards DuLUTH to see if he
saw the light. RED II radioes that he had visual contact with the same light.
Controller then vectored both RED I and II to DuLuTH at Gate .96 Mach.  When
RED I and II were over DULUTH, GALAHAD 15 controller steered them on a 300
degree heading is heading both RED I and II had a snall closing rate on
the light. GALAlAD 15 controller had a B-52 paint on his scope. The B-52 was
on a O40 degree heading. Controller stated that the B-52 was in RED FLIGhT's
2 o'clock position for about fii ty (50) miles. Controller then called the
B-52 (Callsign TOM CAT 33, track designator SRFC 3) to turn out his running
lights. TOm CAT 33's first remark was "I have an unkmown object, tube shaped,
it bia
reported that L4 had also seen the object
and described it as being tubular shape, red and white, pulsing dim and bright.
TOM CAT 33 further said that T OM CAT 14 had a radar contact on their : tail gun
radar at 7 o'clock, low, when they were in TOM CAT 33 area. GALAHAD 15
controller stated that he had no contact on the unknown. GALAllAD then vectored
RED I and II to the B-52's position. Later RED FLIGHT radioed to the controll-
er they had visual contact on the B-52. Controller had RED I who was in the
leed to turn on his radar ground map (beacon position). RED I radioed
controller that he had a contact at l2 o'clock, forty (40) miles, angels 31,
and level. Controller stated that northern lights at this time e were very
prominent. RED I then called controller and said "I definitely have a tally-ho
on a concentric shaped object, red top, white bottom, with a red rotating
beacon on top and green rotating beacon on the bottom. I car n see it as plain
as day." RED I reported the light as being level at ; angels I RED II Celled
e tally-ho but thought the light was not airborne. RED II reported the light
glowing and as being red, white and glowing and as being red, white and green, fading at intervals. Controller fading at intervals. Controller
then vectored RED FLIGHr to a l5O degree heading and ther then vectored RED FLIGHT t o a 15O degree heading and then turned RED FLIGHT n turned RED FLIGHT
over to their own control. Controller then called CHARLEs (3lst Air Division) over to their own control. Controller then called CHaRLEs (3lst Air Division)
