Based on the information reported, it is the opinion of this office that the signal reported wa s caused l>Y ground clutter. A variation in the index of refraction in the propagation medium, in ~his case the atmos~here, causes the R.F b !:al!l to ben d and strike the grou."ld. T!le :phenomenon reported in sweep three is ~est likely caused by changes in the cha~acteristics of the index of ref raction. 2. In future reports involving rae~r detection of U?O's, i t is requested that the radar be identified, if possib~e, a~d the target size be estimated from the s pct size seen on the r adar indicate~ .
