RADCAT is a revitalized special project now being conducted jointly by NICAP & Project 1947 with the help and cooperation of the original compiler of RADCAT, Martin Shough, to create a comprehensive listing of radar cases with detailed documentation from all previous catalogues, including UFOCAT and original RADCAT.


Objects Tracked At 50,000', G/V
July 1, 1952
Foert Monmouth, New Jersey

Francis Ridge:
July 1, 1952; Fort Monmouth, New Jersey
9:30 a.m. Two silvery objects were tracked at 50,000', moved slowly, hovered, and with a reported terrific burst of speed moved to the southwest, seen visually and on radar. The incident coincided with other visual observations. As Ruppelt, himself, stated, without injecting any imagination or wild assumptions, it looked as if two "somethings" had come down across Boston on a southwesterly heading, crossed Long Island, hovered for a few  minutes over the Army's secret laboratories at Fort Monmouth, then proceeded toward Washington. And it didn't end there. NARA PBB1-56 lists the case as explained as "insects".
