Memo, TDEW/UFO, 23 Aug 65, Request for Radar Analysis (U)

lst Ind. (TDEED/Capt Dunlap/pkj/74201) 31 Aug 65
TO: TIDEW/UFO

1. The attached memo for the record provides insufficient informa-
tion to enable a radar analysis of the situation. In order to
perform an amalysis, it would be necessary to know the types of
radars involved, their operating radio frequencies, types of signals
generated, weather conditions between the radars and the indicated
target, equipment Location and the directions of target travel.

2. The motion of the target appears to rule out direct observation,
as natural objects would not be able to change directions radically
at the observed speeds. This leads one to believe that the obser-
vations were via anomalous propagation of the radar waves. When
atmospheric conditions are right, anomalous propagations can play
many tricks and, of course, are difficult to substantiate. This
occurrence may be one of these cases; however, additional informa-
tion could prove otherwise.
