Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file, dated January 1965, holds handwritten notes on a radar sighting at Patuxent Naval Air Station. Radar tracked unidentified objects three times on December 19 between 3:15 and 3:30 P.M., including two objects moving toward the base at an estimated 6,000 miles per hour. The notes also record a request to evaluate recent UFO activity by 21 January 1965, and they mention NICAP and a magazine article claiming the Air Force was downplaying the subject.
