March 26, 1952, between Ft. Stockton and Pecos, Texas
A B-50 aircraft of the 509th Bombardment Wing at 15,500
feet
Radar observer, Captain James F. McClelland, picked
up unidentified object on the radar scope. Rate of closure three times
that of B-29. Radar scope photos.
Radar observer later reversed his first estimate of the
"speed of closure" of the Unidentified Flying Object from 3 times that
of a B-50 to that of a conventional fighter plane, after interrogation
by a Wing Intelligence Officer.
Members of the crews of both the lead aircraft and the
aircraft flying the #4 position confirm the presence of the
unidentified aircraft, both through visual sighting and its producing a
return on the radar scope.
