The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
In May of 2005 we found MAXW-PBB9-1289 (an AIIR, Air
Intelligence Information Report) while looking for something else. Since I was
working on White Sands cases I set it aside. Then, a week later, I stumbled
across another reference. NARA-PBB85-654 mentioned an unidentified radar
return. It was marked with brackets as secret. However, it was listed as having
occurred on April 8th at 2000 hours (8:00 PM). I checked the NICAP Db and it
wasn’t there, so I then went to the ‘Bluelist,’ the outdated PBB Unknowns. Duncanville
was listed, as Item 1095, and as April 5th. But Dan Wilson & Brad Sparks
had noted the correct date as April 4th.
Brad Sparks:
April 4, 1952.
Duncanville, Texas (BBU 1095)
8:30 p.m. (CST)
USAF Cpl. Billy D. Greer and PFC John W. Harrington of the Radar
Maintenance Section, 147th AC&W Squadron, tracked unidentified target by
FPS-10 radar first to the NW at 310°-315° azimuth at about 70 nautical miles (80 miles ) moving at high
speed of about 2,160 knots (2,500
mph ) until it disappeared off the scope at maximum range
of 260 n.mi. (300 miles ).
Height-finder reading not taken, estimated at 42,000+ ft due to radar beam
coverage at max range. (Jan Aldrich;
FUFOR Index)”
