The whole UFO case report (by Dan Wilson):
“May 14, 1978; Pinecastle Electronic Warfare Range,
Florida
At 10:00 and 10:10 p.m. local time, the Pinecastle Duty Officer at the U.S. Navy Pinecastle Electronic Warfare Range received two calls from unidentified civilians reporting a UFO with red, green and white lights. The control tower was notified and the watchstander observed stationary lights at an estimated altitude of1600 feet in the area reported by the callers.
Orders went out to activate the MSQ-102 Radar. After a 20 minute warm up the
radar detected a unidentified blip ‘fluttering’ over the CD Tower. The tracking
computer was put on the unidentified target which was showing very little
movement. The target was observed for approximately one hour when it began to
move at about 400-500 knots. The radar operator said he tried to ‘train’ the
radar on the object but it accelerated rapidly, evading his efforts to lock and
track it on the computer. When he caught up with the object, it reversed direction
and started back toward Pinecastle. The radar operator finally locked on the
object after it had practically stopped moving. Shortly after the target broke
radar lock. Collins, the radar operator had been operating radar for most of
his eight years of service. A total of eight Naval personnel visually observed
red, green and white lights of the object from the control tower for over an
hour.”
