CAA study of unidentified radar plots is reported as showing that the spurious targets are caused by radar energy which ricochets off small atmo~pheric areas, strikes the ground, and returns an echo via fr.€ same path. These isolated refracting areas are normally found under temperature inversion conditions and travel with the wind, giving movir,g-target indications on radar scopes. Findiugs contained in CAA T. D.

Hypothesis is applied to explain reported UFO sightings near Exeter, New Hampshire, and to an alleged saucer landing in Socorro, New Mexico. Klemin, Alexander. The flying saucer.
