CAPT WALTER FLINT, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE TEST, NOTIFIED THE
LOCAL GCI SITE OF THE PRESENCE UFO, HOWEVER, NO INTERCEPT
ACTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE d T THE GCI FPS-20 RADAR PICKED
UP THE UFO ONLY ONCE EACH THREE SWEEPS OVER AN INTERVAL OF
36 SECONDS AND RECEIVED NO TARGET ON THE HEIGHIT FINDER.
PART II. ANALYSIS OF THE AVAILABLE DATA LEADS TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT THE TARGET WAS REAL. T THERE TS NO EVIDENCE IN THE REPORT TO
BALSE7-
SUGGEST RADAR MALFUNCTION, OR BLASE ECHOS. BECAUSE THE TRACKS
WERE APPARENTLY WELL DEFINED AND HAD A DEFINITE PATTERN. IT IS
BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS A RELATIVELY SMALL TARGET DUE TO THE
FACT THAT IT CONSISTENTLY FADED AT 44 MILES OUTBOUND IN ITS ORBIT
AID REAPPEARED AT APPROXINATELY 44 MILES INBOUD. THERE IS NO
LOGICAL REASON FOR THE INABILITY OF THE POWERFUL FPS-2O TO TRACK LOGICAL REASON FOR THE INABILITY OF THE POWERFUL PPS-2O TO TRACK
T t Te TARGET, UE.ZSS TIS BQUIPICENT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT TARGET, UR.ZSS TUS BOUIPIENT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT
THIS CIME OR TE TARGMT WAS IN A DEAD AREA FOR THE STATION. THIS CIME OR TIE TARGET WAS IN A DEAD AREA FOR THE STATION.
PART III. SINCA MO HEIGNT FINDER DATA WAS OBTAINED CERTAIN PART III. SINCE MO HEIGNT FINDER DATA WAS OBTAINED CERTAIN
DEDUCTIONS MUST BE HADE RELATIVE TO THE TARGET HEIGHT. THE MINIMM DEDUCTIONS :UST BE MADE RELATIVE TO THE TARGET HEIGHT. THE MINIMM
REPORTED RANOGE OF CHE TARGET WAS 1O MILES, SINCE THIS IS SLANT REPORTED RANOT OF CHE TARGET WAS 1O MILES. SINCE THIS IS SLANT
RANGE AND PURTHER SINCE THE NAXIMUM VERTICAL ANGLE COVERAGE OF THE RANGE AND PURTHER SINCE THE MAXIMUM VERTICAL ANGLE COVERAGE OF THE
FPS-8 IS 25-300 THE MAXIMUM TARGET HEIGHT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY
30,000 FEET WHICH OBVIOUSLY RULES OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE UFO
BEING AN EXTREMELY HIGH FLYING TARGET. THE PERIODIC HIGH SPEEDS,
AS HIGH AS 60O KNOTS, REPORTED FOR THE TARGET, COUPLED WITH THE
FACT HAT THE MTI OF THE FPS-8 WAS NOT CPERATING, FURTHER R TENDS
TO RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE UFO BEING A VERY LOW FLYING

TARGET. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS NO LOGICAL EXPLANATITON FOR WHY
THE FPS-2O HEIGHT FINDER WAS UNABLE TO PAINT THE TARGET.
PART IV. CONTACT WITH LT/COL JAMES O. PAYNE, AFMC, REVEALED
THAT NO NAVY OPERATION COULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIGHT-
ING AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO IMILAR INCIDENTS DURING
TESTS.
PART V. IT IS CONCLUDED BY ATIC THAT THE OBJECT SIGHTED ON
RADAR AT CAPE CANAVERAL ON 11 APR 61 AT 1457Z WAS PROBABLY A
REAL TARGET, FLYING AT AN ALTITUDE OF NO MORE THAN 35,00O FEET.
NO DEFINTTE EXPLANATION OF WHY THIS TARGET DID NOT APPEAR ON
THE FPS-2O CAN BE REACHED, BUT INSPECTION OF THE SITE AND
THE RADAR MAINTENANCE RECORD WOULD REVEAL IF THIS WAS DUE TO
A DEAD AREA OR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. 7H CnGNNr2niict

THAT UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT HAVE BEEN OPERATING IN THE VICINITY OF

PROVE THA THEY ARE UNFRIENDLY FOREIGN AIRCRAFT AND NO PHOTO

RANGE MAY BE UNDER SURVEILLANCE BY AIRCRAFT BASED ON FOREIGN SOIL;
HOWEVER, THIS APPROACH APPEARS TO BE UNLIKELY BECAUSE OF THE
ACCESSIBILITY OF THE CAPE TO OTHER MORE EFFECTIVE MEANS OF OESERVA-
TION. THE RANGE AND ALTITUDES OBSERVED TO DATE RULE OUT THE POSSI-
