Attached UFO report has been reviewed by this office and has been evaluated. Two possibilities exist: a. Equipment malfunction aa suggested by the ASO ia a good probability, expecially since trouble had been encountered earlier. b. Since the average speed of the UFO was apparently under Mach 3 it could have been a supersonic aircraft, although no evidence of such is apparent. Acting Chief
