Project Blue Book file, part 1

USAF via NICAP · 22 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This USAF Project Blue Book file, distributed by NICAP, covers the radar and visual sightings at Bentwaters and Lakenheath, England, on 13 and 14 August 1956. It contains the record card, Air Intelligence Information Reports, ATIC correspondence with Dr. J. Allen Hynek, and a retired controller's later letter to the University of Colorado describing an RAF interceptor being tailed. The Air Force attributed the radar returns to anomalous propagation and meteors, and the visual sighting to Mars.

Dear Bob;

I have your vision-visual vision done in by Torquay in Portklaas. Not much time one can do about it, though he doesn't even remember the month, let alone the current date. We have, the experts in similar to many others, that I have done. Without specific details of times and directions, it is difficult to monologue or confirm what you see to be a reasonable interpretation.

Prior of all, I have no point on again the importance of making a definite distinction between radar and visual sighting, especially, unless occasionally such of the is purported. And we follow the direction in which you can off the signal and it measures the distance whatever is reflecting the radar pulse. And sometimes it commits us to view of the your visibility of getting wicked effects as vapy land. You thus have three purposes, altitude, bearing, and a Closeness. For a visual sighting, you have as both only two altitudes and bearing have no coincidence of Closure and house, if you imply to one another even if titility a bright other near the house, -- if the other direction, an incompatibility radar operator will often strain the altitude-visual sighting, whether the coincidence is justified or not.

Well, 46.0 with a green high school. I strongly owe the mapping was involved by this method so changed the picture into a cohesive scene, to give the appearance of motion, even though none actually
