Radio Amateur Tracks UFO With Radar? Maybe Not
March 1, 1950
Knoxville, Tennessee

Fran Ridge:
S. E. Adcock was a civilian operating a "ham" radar set. The witness and equipment are considered unreliable. The report synopsis by Bruce Maccabee, is fairly accurate but based on FBI documents, and shows that the radar used was able to track an object at  2,000 feet. But it also states that anything else came under serious question and no conclusions could be reached. But when Air Force documents were found (see documents linked below) the witness was found intoxicated, and when his height and speed figures were checked against the actual airliner they were wildly off.
