This NICAP-hosted file reproduces USAF Project Blue Book records on a radar and fighter intercept near Bellefontaine, Ohio, on 1 August 1952. Ground radar near Wright-Patterson AFB tracked an object moving at 400 knots. Two F-86s from the 97th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron were sent to intercept it and filmed a silver round object, but the gun camera film was too indistinct. The file includes a completed radar data sheet, a request from the Air Technical Intelligence Center, and a memo about releasing film frames to TRUE magazine. Early analyses ruled out a balloon, but a later conclusion identified the object as an upper air research balloon cluster.
This NICAP-hosted compilation of USAF Project Blue Book records covers the radar-visual intercept of 1 August 1952 near Bellefontaine, Ohio. It holds a press clipping, the ATIC case summary, correspondence between the Air Technical Intelligence Center and the 664th AC&W Squadron, and a completed radar data sheet. Two F-86s from Wright-Patterson took gun camera film of the object. The early evaluation lists it as unknown, but other pages attribute the sighting to a jet on radar and a research balloon seen by the pilots.
