AI-Generated Summary
A radar sighting of an unidentified object occurred at Custer AF Station on 12 July 1956. The Air Technical Intelligence Center concluded that the data was insufficient for evaluation.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a disposition form regarding a radar sighting reported by the 781st ACWRON at Custer Air Force Station, Michigan, on 12 July 1956. At 1657Z, a radar operator, identified as 1st Lt D. M. Zan Fagna, tracked a single object. The report notes that the object performed a 90-degree turn to the west and faded after 2 minutes and 45 seconds. The radar operator was noted as being very reliable, and the report indicated a positive detection of a high-speed mode track. Despite the reliability of the witness, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) determined that the information provided was too meager to reach a conclusion. A disposition form dated 17 July 1956 requested an analysis of the report, to which the response on 20 July 1956 by Colonel Gordon C. Hoffman stated that the data was insufficient for evaluation and that no further action would be taken pending the receipt of additional information.
The data presented is insufficient upon which to make an evaluation.
