“ORIGINATING AGENCY: 81st Fighter Bomber Wing , England
Most significant are the reports of three courses of
UFOBS tracked on the Bentwaters GCA Radar. These UFOBS flew courses as follows:
1 group of 12 to 15 UFOBS FROM a point 8 miles SW of Bentwaters to approximately 40-45 miles NE of Bentwaters
at an estimated speed of 80 to 125 miles per hour; a single UFOB was tracked
by the Bentwaters GCA from approximately 25 miles SE of Bentwaters
to approximately 15 miles
NW of Bentwaters at a speed estimated at more than 4,000 miles per hour; a
third UFOB was reported as tracked by the Bentwaters GCA from approximately 30 miles E. of Bentwaters
flying a westerly course to about 30 miles west of Bentwaters at an exceptionally
high speed.
The GCA Operators making these radar sightings were of
the opinion that malfunctions of the GCA Equipment did not cause these radar
sightings.
The following information was obtained from USAF
personnel assigned to RAF Station, Bentwaters ,
England
The document, REPORT NR.: IR-1-56, is presented on
Pages 4-9.
The acronym, UFOB, stands for “unidentified flying
object.” It was created by the U.S. Air Force. The term is defined in the
document, Air Force Regulation 200-2 (AFR 200-2).
