Note: We couldn't find a radar track in this case because there were strangely conflicting assertions that some or all radars, ground and air, were mysteriously "inoperative," frankly unbelievable for a major ADC radar site like Montauk which was the main air defense bulwark for the East Coast and NYC in particular and which had at least 4 radars, not all of which could possibly have been inoperative at exactly the same time (except perhaps if there had been a power blackout but even then wouldn't they have had backup generators at a major ADC site?).
