This series of visual sightings of
silver specks in the
sky triggered a scramble of two aircraft from Holloman AFB. Two range
surveillance radars (one at Holloman, the other at Elephant Mountain
near Orogrande, 35 miles south of Holloman) plotted four targets 10
Nautical miles ENE of Tularosa. Then a plot of three targets were
reported over Mescalero by both radars. Although intermittent the radar
operators were convinced that "something" was there. The case was one
investigated by the Condon Committee FI, M. Van Arsdale. This case was
not listed among the original Blue Book Unknowns.
