Sparks:
July 12
(13?), 1952; Kirksville, MO (BBU 1436)
9:00 + 9:15 + 9:20 + 9:30 +11:04 + 11:07 p.m. (CST).
Many FPS-10 radar controllers at 790th AC&W Sq tracked large radar blips at
1,500+ knots (>1,700
mph ) to 4,800 knots (5,600 mph ) [actual speeds
about 5,000 to 6,000 mph
in all 6 tracks] inbound and outbound on nearly identical straight-line
azimuths in about the 124-293
mile range [suggestive of real objects below about 20,000 ft within the Vertical-Lower
beam of FPS-10 but not caught within higher-aimed Vertical-Center or
Vertical-Upper beams limited to >2° elevation angle]. 6 single targets each
tracked at following azimuths (at times listed above) coming to/from 142°-134°,
001°-354°, 220°-202°, 321°-320°, 320°, and 004°, with none crossing to other
side of scope, a classic interference pattern except none extended to center of
scope or to outer edge but disappeared like a real object in and out of radar
blind zones. Checks with regional radar stations found none with antennas ‘in
opposition’ (matching direction of Kirksville
radar antenna at the same moment). No visual sighting, or other confirmation of
targets by other radars [apparently not even by the ot her component radars
within the FPS-10 operating on different frequencies, such as the Slant-Lower
beam which would have given height data, none reported, which suggests
interference or selective radar emissions or ECM]. Radar targets registered
only every other sweep (every 30 secs of the 4 RPM sweep rate) suggesting
interference by a 2 or 6 RPM sweep rate radar. Possible IFO non-real radar
interference. (Sparks ;
