At 15512 on 1 Aug 50 ground radar from Wright-Patterson AFB sighted an unknown object on its scope. Two F-86's from the 97th Fighter-In-Interceptor Squadron were vectored into the area and observed a silver round object. Airborne radar contact was not made but attempts were made to get gun camera shots. The object was above the climbing capability of the F-86's and appeared to be steadily gaining altitude when the fighters returned to base for fuel.

2. Bellfontaine, Ohio - 1 August 1952

The gun camera film showed a moving object which is too indistinct for further analysis.

Solution: Was a balloon there were local balloon releases prior to the sighting.
