This Project Blue Book file, released through NICAP, covers the August 1956 radar and visual UFO sightings at RAF Bentwaters and Lakenheath, England. It contains radar operator statements, pilot intercept accounts, weather data and USAF teletype messages. It also includes ATIC analyses suggesting weather returns or Perseid meteors, and an October 1956 memorandum by Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Hynek judged the meteor explanation unlikely, called for better data and relayed Dr. Whipple's proposal for camera sky patrols.
