On the precisicn radar, tile UFOBs gave a return that the same as an aircra:tt. he As plotted on inclosures #1 tJlru 6 it appears that the OF'OB's made sharp turns or changes 1n on. However, their turns were giadual when visual 17 observed on the raaar scope and the turns could be n primar~ b7 plotting the target from the station. 5. Photographs: In is a photograph or UFOS crossing the precision scope !'rom lett 'to right (west to east) at 18J.3L 6 NnY~ 1957. (Ret incl #3 tor ot target tracked l829L to 184JL b NO"'ember 1957). The }il is ot poor qualit)" as the camera was haDd bel d and tbe face of the radar scope was not reJttoved. The photograph vas taken with color t1Jm, F-2 at oM-f'ourth second. At the time this phot was taken, the UFOB target was comparable to the return or a B-47 aircrait aDd was tracked on both the azimuth and tion sectors or the precision scope.
