The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
Feb. 4, 1954; Carswell AFB, Ft.
Worth, Texas (BBU)
11 p.m. (Shough)
Dan Wilson:
February 4, 1954; Carswell AFB, Ft.
Worth, Texas
At 11:00 p.m. local time, an object was detected by the Carswell AFB
Ground Control Approach (GCA) radar, an AN/CPN-4 radar, at a distance of 13 to 15 miles to the SW and was
heading directly toward the base. Carswell Weather reported in and said they
had the object sighted on radar at approx. same time and location. The object
remained on a straight course and the GCA operator notified the Control Tower.
Control Tower personnel sighted the object as it moved directly over the
Control Tower at an estimated speed of 240 - 250 mph. The object was
observed for approximately 6 minutes with standard binoculars during entire
observation. The object was at an altitude of approximately 4,000 feet confirmed by
GCA, according to the Control Tower operator.
The object was described as larger than a B-36, having a long fuselage,
elliptical wings and stabilizer, gray in color, and no visible means of
propulsion or exhaust. Nor did the object leave any trail and no sound was
heard. The object passed out of sight to the NW. At 11:29 p.m., two targets
were picked up on the Carswell GCA radar at 17 miles SW of Carswell.
The targets were flying formation at an estimated 5,000 feet altitude at a
speed of 200 mph.
These two targets merged into one target and when 12 miles from Carswell
they separated again and assumed a southerly heading. At approximately 14 miles from the base the
target to the rear suddenly reversed its course, flew for two miles, then
reversed course again and gradually overtook the lead target. Both targets
departed [the] area flying in
formation to the SSE. The INVESTIGATION OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS report
states that the reversal of course was for about two miles or 3.3 seconds. (Dan Wilson)”

Wikipedia article: “Carswell Air Force Base”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Carswell Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force (USAF)
base, located northwest of Fort Worth,
Texas. For most of its
operational lifetime, the base’s mission was to train and support heavy
strategic bombing groups and wings.
Carswell was a major Strategic Air Command (SAC) base during the Cold
War. It was the headquarters of several SAC intercontinental bombardment wings,
equipped with the latest heavy bombers from B-29 Superfortresses; B-36
Peacemakers and B-52 Stratofortresses. The west side of the airfield was home
to Air Force Plant 4, a
602-acre (2.44 km2) industrial complex occupied over the decades by Convair,
General Dynamics, and now by Lockheed Martin. The bulk of the Air Force Convair
B-36, B-58 Hustler, F-111 Aardvark, EF-111 Raven and F-16 Fighting Falcon
fleets were built there.
With the end of the Cold War, and the subsequent downsizing of the
American military, the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission
recommended that Carswell AFB be closed by 1994. Today, the facility is known
as Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base. It retains an Air
Force Reserve presence as well as a Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve and Air
National Guard flying units where were formerly located at Naval Air Station
Dallas.”
