Nov. 7, 1961; Arlington Heights, Illinois
At 1:55 a.m. local time, several employees of the
Martin Company and Army personnel observed three unusual radar returns
on the long range
radar. Three objects were observed approaching the Chicago area from
ESE with 30
second separation at speeds in excess of 4000 knots. The radar return
was very sharp. An
attempt was made to determine the altitude of the objects but their
speed was
beyond the capability of the equipment. After the sightings the
equipment was
tested and found to be in perfect operating order. (Dan Wilson)
