Documents / FOIA release
This Foreign Broadcast Information Service report, dated 11 February 1992 and relayed through the Joint Staff, carries a Seoul Yonhap English dispatch. Radar detected an intruder over the West Sea south of China's Shandong Peninsula. It moved at about 630 knots and then disappeared about 128 kilometers west of Kunsan. The South Korean Air Force sent up 18 fighters, a helicopter and a C-130, which found nothing. A spokesman said the contact was probably a radar ghost signal caused by overlapping surveillance systems.

## UNCLASSIFIED RADAR AS PLANES. "SINCE A SIMILAR PHENOMENON CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON RADAR WHEN AN AIRPLANE CRASHES, WE ARE SEARCHING THE SEA WHERE THE OBJECT WAS LAST DETECTED ON RADAR, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND," HE SAID. ADMIN (ENDALL) 110749 1126 11/0811Z FEB BT #2305 NNNN
