At 11:45 p.m. local time, a radar site near Ankara observed
returns with some unusual characteristics. The tracks were of extremely
high speed and some of the personnel at the radar site had seen the
object as it passed over Ankara. There were eight separate tracks at
intervals of approximately 1 hour. The tracks appeared to originate
near 90 degrees and heading on a course of 230 degrees towards the
radar station. The returns were tracked at speeds up to 3000 mph. The
type of radar used was an FPS-88.
