Quote from the paper:
“The speaker is an astrophysicist. He is not
a radar specialist or an image analyst. Since the responsible Swiss military
employee did not wish to talk about the radar data himself, the speaker will
present some of the results of radar records without knowing too much about the
confidential military computer-analysis programs and the special equipment
used.
Abstract
In
Belgium and Switzerland, members of the Society for the Scientific
Investigation of Anomalous Atmospheric and Radar Phenomena – MUFON Central European Society, Inc.
(MUFON-CES for short), – with tacit permission from their superiors – were able
to obtain radar records from radar surveillance systems in some cases to
investigate unidentified traces registered by these systems. Unidentified radar
traces were observed over Central Europe
nearly every fourth day or night. About 200 radar plots from 130 days were
investigated by members of the MUFON-CES radar team. The managers of military
air surveillance have no orders and no manpower to investigate such
‘radar-disturbances.’ In most of the cases, a natural explanation of these
‘disturbances’ seems to have been excluded. A distinction should be made
between (a) ‘accumulations’ of radar echoes and (b) traces of navigating
objects. Since the investigation into the plots was made ‘post-mortem’ no
visual identification by pilots or radar controllers has been made. Only in two
cases could the radar controllers simultaneously observe lights over a nearby
mountain (and accumulations on radar) near their working place as well as a
silvery disc (and an impossible flight trace on radar). Some of the strange
radar echoes were seen near logistic installations (in military radar systems,
in nuclear power plants, in a NATO early warning station and in military flight
maneuvers). The military airspace surveillance system satisfactorily
constitutes a UFO research instrument. Since permission to use that instrument
by scientists depends on military orders, research into the behavior and the
possible explanation of UFOs depends on political decision only.”
