Text by NICAP.org (nicap.org):
“The Mutual UFO Network has partnered with the MADAR Project, along with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, in a joint venture code-named Project MATCH in an effort to correlate alerts regarding detection of electromagnetic/geomagnetic anomalies with actual sighting reports, and ultimately provide an early warning system to state directors and other researchers. The Project is also seeking volunteers for additional MADAR sites.”

“July 21, 1952; Rockville, Indiana (BBU 1533)
8:10 p.m. Three men of the 782 ACW Squadron, observed an aluminum, triangular-shaped object the approximate size of a C-47 aircraft. The object had one triangular fin or rudder. The object flew at an altitude of  500 to 1000 feet at approximately 0-60 MPH on a straight level course, but stopped and hovered in on spot 1/2 mile from the NW corner of their radar station for 1/2 minute before disappearing in the haze to the N. Time observed approximately 3 minutes. (Berliner, Sparks) [UFO probably too slow to be picked up by their radar if running MTI (moving target indication) equipment.]”
