IJI~SOO Major, ~AI' . C or."C"Mft der f. Inclosure #6: The evidence presented in this report indicates the poRsibility that radar re~lections from clouds or rain storms caused the unexplained. blips. Equipments vhich operate at S-band uaually are more susceptible to veather phenomena than L-band equipments. It is assumed that the search equipment which did not pick up the reported blips was operating in the L-band.
