3. CONCLUSICH:
a. The three primary personnel involved in the visual sighting are
highly dependable individuals. Their job calls for careful screening,
extensive training, and consistently high performance and reliability.
Their work requires constant observation and identification of a great

Anrroach Control reported that they had been observing
the vicinity and direction that the observation had been made. Agproach
Control was asked the distance and hearing of the returns, and reported that
1t was to the South at a distance that I camnot recall. I looked in that
direction through the Binoculars and observed what appeared to bo a very dim
cbject reflecting light that was alnost obscured by clouds nd haze, It
aupeared to be either almost stationary or flyi away about 10-15
above the horizon. The clouds vere cuite dark an the area and the
object or phencmenom faded out of sight within approxinst
could not determine or estimate it's size, distance, or altituds, and I be-
lieve it could well have been some reflected light phenomenom, a light plane,
helicopter, or some other earthly object, however I heve no idee what the
unless it was spotting moose or other wildlife. An Nco at the hurphy Dome
Air Defense Radar Site was contacted during the incident and he reported that
they had no returns on their Radar in the vicinity. No further action was
teken.

targets at a point about fifteen miles southwest of the Harding Lake Tower;

6. We in Air Traffic Control do not normally take note of every ghost
or target thnt appears on the radar. Only
S.5 IFR Aircraft or those that have requested radar flight following, are
observed closely. Occasionally an unidentified target is given special
attention when it is apparent that , it may become a factor in the control
of an identified aircraft; L unidentified targets are given as traffic
to the pilots of radar identified aircraft; Otherwise we have no need to
maintain observation of unidentified aircraft or other objects which would
result in a radar target.
