(16:30 hours = 4:30 PM local) Three unidentified objects flying east to
west flew over
the Harwich area and were tracked on radar (track X.481). The
objects then returned to the Continent (Europe). The objects were
first seen near the Dutch Islands. The
track was initially plotted as 3 at 36,000 feet, was reduced to 2
at 36,000 feet on
closer range and again shown 3 at 32 - 34,000 feet on the outward
flight. Ground speeds
on the approach were 375 knots and increasing to 420 knots on the short
leg over the
U.K. and 490 knots on the return. (Documents from AIR 20/7390
