Dan Wilson:
September 10, 1951; Fort Monmouth, New Jersey
11:10 a.m. .Several unidentified objects were sighted by radar
at Fort Monmouth, N.J. The objects varied in speed from 0 to 700
mph and were sighted at varying altitudes. The objects were observed on
an AN/MPG-1 radar set. At 3:15 p.m. an
object was observed on the SCR-584 radar set. The same day an
unconventional object was sighted by crew of T-33 over Sandy Hook, N.J.
The object disappeared out to sea near Asbury Park, New Jersey at an
estimated speed
of 1000 mph.
Fran Ridge:
Our thanks to everyone who did all the research on this
monumental case. Especially to Mike Hall who provided all the
original documentation, to both Wendy Connors & Mike Hall for the
historical
update, and to Robert Swiatek of FUFOR for the Ruppelt notes not used
in his book. Without our research efforts, which resulted from
the T-33 pilot reports to the media, all we had was the GRUDGE
Report
and this final statement by Capt. Ruppelt: "The UFO that the student
radar operator had assumed to be traveling at a terrific speed because
he couldn't lock on to it turned out to be a 400-mile-an-hour
conventional airplane. He had just gotten fouled up on his procedures
for putting the radar set on automatic tracking. The sighting by the
two officers in the T-33 jet fell apart when Metscher showed how they'd
seen a balloon." Brad Sparks analysis
proves that the T-33 was
NOT chasing a balloon. (See below).
