The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
Oct. 24, 1950; Oak
Ridge , Tennessee
6:30 p.m. FBI documents show several visual sightings
at Oak Ridge and a radar track at Knoxville 5,000 feet in the same
general vicinity as the object observed by Fry (see FBI doc below). The radar
target disappeared at 7:20 p.m. The complete radar report to the CIC
investigator says that targets appeared at 6:23 p.m. moving over the restricted
flight zone and at 6:26 a fighter was scrambled to the area of the targets but
failed to see anything. This series of incidents was not listed among the
original BB Unknowns.”

Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“History
The town of Oak Ridge was established by the Army Corps of Engineers as
part of the Clinton Engineer Works in 1942 on isolated farm land as part of the
Manhattan Project.[11] During the war, advanced research for the government was
managed at the site by the University of Chicago. In 1943, construction of the
‘Clinton Laboratories’ was completed, later renamed to ‘Oak Ridge National
Laboratory.’ The site was chosen for the X-10 Graphite Reactor, used to show
that plutonium can be extracted from enriched uranium. Enrico Fermi and his
colleagues developed the world’s second self-sustaining nuclear reactor after
Fermi’s previous experiment Chicago Pile-1, the X-10 was the first designed for
continuous operation.[12] After the end of World War II the demand for
weapons-grade plutonium fell and the reactor and the laboratory’s 1000
employees were no longer involved in nuclear weapons,[11][13] instead it was
used for scientific research.[12] In 1946 the first medical isotopes were
produced in the X-10 reactor, by 1950 almost 20,000 samples had been shipped to
various hospitals.”
