Quote from the article:
“The United States destroyer Blue (USS Blue (DD-744)) search[ed]
the Pacific Ocean off Southern California with radar today, trying to track
down a mysterious ‘unidentified object.’
A Navy report said the Blue picked the ‘object’ up on
its radar screen and was maintaining the contact.
The Blue, based in San Diego, had the object in its
radar screen and was trying to close with it to identify it.
Announcement of the search was made at Washington
after San Diego authorities forwarded a report to the Navy Department there.
The announcement made no mention of a submarine and
gave no details of when or where contact with the object was made.”

“Blue was again placed in commission 15 September 1950
and reported to Destroyer Division 131, Pacific Fleet. After engaging in
training exercises off the coast of California, she departed San Diego early in
1951 and arrived at Yokosuka, Japan, 23 January. She operated in Korean and
Japanese waters until August.”
