Ridge: According to NICAP sources, Air Force radar men in Japan tracked two oddly maneuvering UFOs for over an hour. One radar scope apparently showed what looked like two airplanes dogfighting, but there were no conventional aircraft in the area. Type "G", ground radar, no visual. Dan Wilson:
November 6, 1948; Wakkanai, JapanAt 11:57 a.m. local time, a radar operator at a ground radar station observed a blip on the radar screen. The target first appeared as one object but at times appeared as 2 targets. The speed of the object(s) was estimated varying from 160 mph to 240 mph. The target circled the radar site continuously for one hour and five minutes. No interception action was taken due to adverse weather. (McDonald list, Dan Wilson) |
