U=Z Radar Case
Late Oct. to early Nov., 1954
United Kingdom

Fran Ridge:
Late October to early November, 1954; United Kingdom
Noon (approx). According to a War Office statement a few days after the events, radars in an undisclosed area of the UK registered "formations" of unidentified echoes on 6 occasions. The story was covered by numerous British and European newspapers. There were not just one but several radar stations that picked this up ­ a formation (more than 40 objects) that changed patterns as the sweeps occurred creating in sequence “U=Z”.
