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

Dan Wilson: August 4, 1958; Malmstrom AFB, Montana
At 11:15 p.m. (MDT), A/2C Bernard G. Bell, 29th FIS
roving aircraft guard, observed a delta wing-shaped object, flying
directly overhead. The object was silver in color and appeared as large
as a volleyball at arm's length, was solid in shape with no openings,
no props, no exhaust, no tail section, and no conventional means of
motivation visible. The object made a varied pitch whistling sound, but
was much quieter than a jet. The object moved gradually to the north
and was observed for approximately 30 seconds. The object was picked up
on the approach control radar for four sweeps at Malmstrom AFB. No
scramble of aircraft was ordered. Officials at ATIC were not happy
about no scramble being made and apparent non-compliance with AF
Reg. 200-2, specifically Par 1, (Requirement for rapid identification).
