The whole UFO case report:
“Francis
Ridge :
Jan. 22, 1952; Nenana ,
Alaska
This was a an incident involving both ground and
airborne radar. Three F-94’s were scrambled to intercept the radar target. The
UFO maneuvered and radar indicated it streaked away to the west. The object was
tracked at 23,000 feet
and clocked at 1500 mph .
At first the Air Force claimed this was a weather target. But when you read the
documents below you can see they never explained this incident.
Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt:
A month or two after we’d received the report, I was
out in Colorado Springs
at Air Defense Command Headquarters. I was eating lunch in the officers’ club
when I saw an officer from the radar operations section at ADC. He asked me to
stop by his office when I had a spare minute, and I said that I would. He said
that it was important.”
NICAP.org presents U.S. government
(U.S. Air Force) documents that pertain to the UFO case.
Wikipedia article: “Clear Air Force Station”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Clear Air Force Station (‘Clear’ colloq.) is a United
States Air Force Station radar station for detecting incoming ICBMs and
submarine-launched ballistic missiles[3] to NORAD’s command center and to
provide Space Surveillance data to Air Force Space Command’s Space Control
Center (SCC). Clear’s AN/FPS-123 Upgraded Early Warning Radar is part of the
Solid State Phased Array Radar System (SSPARS) which also includes those at
Beale AFB, Cape Cod AFS, RAF Fylingdales and Thule Site J. The ‘historic
property’ was one of the Alaska World War II Army Airfields and later a Cold
War BMEWS site providing NORAD data to Colorado ’s
BMEWS Central Computer and Display Facility (CC&DF).
In addition to the ‘original camp area’ with buildings
still in use today,[4] areas of the station include the airfield (ICAO: PACL),
the ‘SSPARS Site’[5] the technical site (Utilador,[6] BMEWS reflectors, support
buildings, power plant), and the composite site (two permanent dormitories, a
mess hall, recreation area, and administrative area).[citation needed] In
addition to the Air National Guard unit, Clear has active duty USAF, Royal
Canadian Air Force, civilian, and contractor personnel.”
