Investigation On In Secret After Chase Over Capital
By Paul Sampson,
Washington Post, July 28, 1952
http://www.rense.com/general8/flew.htm
Military secrecy veils an investigation of the mysterious, glowing
aerial objects that showed up on radar screens in the Washington
area Saturday night for the second consecutive week.
A jet pilot sent up by the Air Defense Command to investigate the
objects reported he was unable to overtake the glowing lights
moving near Andrews Air Force Base.
The CAA reported reported the objects traveled at "predominantly
lower levels"-about 1700 feet.
Air Force spokesmen said yesterday only that an investigation was
being made into the sighting of the objects on the radar screen in
the CAA Air Route Traffic Control Center at Washington National
Airport, and on two other radar screens.
Methods of the investigations were classified as secret, a spoken
said.
" We have no evidence they are flying saucers; conversely we have
no evidence they are not flying saucers. We don't know what they
are," a spokesman added.
The same source reported an expert from the Air Technical
Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton
Ohio, was here last week investigating the objects sighted July 19.
The expert has been identified as Capt. E. J. Ruppelt. Reached by
telephone at his home in Dayton yesterday, Ruppelt said he could
make no comment on his activity in Washington.
Capt. Ruppelt confirmed he was in Washington last week but said he
had not come here to investigate the mysterious objects. He
recalled he did make an investigation after hearing of the objects,
but could not say what he investigated.
Another Air Force spokesman said here yesterday the Air Force is
taking all steps necessary to evaluate the sightings. "The
intelligence people," this spokesman explained, "sent someone over
to the control center at the time of the sightings and did whatever
necessary to make the proper evaluation."
Asked whether the radar equipment might have been mis-functioning,
the spokesman said, "radar, like the compass is not a perfect
instrument and is subject to error." He thought, however,the
investigation would be made by persons acquainted with the problems
of radar.
Two other radar screens in the area picked up the objects.An
employee of the National Airport control tower said the radar scope
there picked up very weak "blips" of the objects. The tower radar's
for "short range" and is not so powerful as that at the center.
Radar at Andrews Air Force Base also registered the objects from
about seven miles south of the base.
A traffic control center spokesman said the nature of the signals
on the radar screen ruled out any possibility they were from clouds
or any other "weather" disturbance.
"The returns we received from the unidentified objects were similar
and analagous to targets representing aircraft in flight," he said.
The objects, "flying saucer or what have you, appeared on the radar
scope at the airport center at 9:08 PM. Varying from 4 to 12 in
number,the objects appeared on the screen until 3:00 AM., when they
diappeared.
AT 11:25 PM., two F-94 jet fighters fro Air Defense Command
squadron, at New CAstle Delaware, capable of 600 hundred mph
speeds, took off to investigate the objects.
Airline, civil and military pilots described the objects as looking
like the lit end of a cigarette or a cluster of orange and red lights.
One jet pilot observed 4 lights in the vicinity of Andrews Air
Force Base, but was not able to over-take them, and they
disappeared in about two minutes.
The same pilot observed a steady white light in the vicinity of Mt
Vernon at 11:49 PM. The light, about 5 miles from him, faded in a
minute. The lights were also observed in the Beltsville, MD.,
vicinity. At 1:40 AM two-other F-94 jet fighters took off and
scanned the area until 2:20 AM., but did not make any sightings.
Visible Two Ways
Although "unidentified objects" have been picked up on radar
before, the incidents of the last two saturdays are believed to be
the first time the objects have been picked up on radar-while
visible to the human eye
Besides the pilots, who last saturday saw the lights, a woman
living on Mississippi Ave., told the Post she saw a very "bright
light streaking across the sky towards Andrews Air Force Base about
11:45 PM. Then a second object with a tail like a comet whizzed by,
and a few seconds later, a third passed in a different direction
toward Suntland, she said.
Radar operators plotted the speed of "saturday night's visitors" at
from 38 to 90 mph, but one jet pilot reported faster speeds for the
light he saw.
The jet pilot reported he had no apparent "closing speed" when he
attempted to reach the lights he saw near Andrews Air Force Base.
That means the lights were moving atleast as fast as his top speed-
a maximum of 600 mph.
One person who saw the lights when they first appeared in this area
did not see them last night. He is E.W. Chambers, an engineer at
Radio Station WRC, who spotted the lights while working early the
morning of July 20 at station's Hyattsville tower.
Chamber's said he was sorry he had seen the lights because he had
been skeptical about "flying saucers" before. Now he said, he sort
of "wonders" and worrys about the whole thing.
Leon Davidson, 804 South Irving St. Arlington, a chemical engineer
who made an exhaustive study of "flying saucers' as a hobby, said
yesterday reports of saucers in the East, have been relatively rare.
Davidson has studied the official report on the saucers, including
some of the secret portions never made public, and analyzed all the
data in the report.
Davidson, whose study of saucers is impressively detailed and
scientific, said he believes the lights are American "aviation
products" -- probably "circular flying wings," using new type jet
engines that permit rapid acceleration and relatively low speeds.
He believes, they are either "new fighters," guided missiles, or
piloted guided missiles.
He cited some of the recent jet fighters, including the Navy's new
" F-4-D, which has a radical "bat-wing," as examples of what the
objects might resemble.
Davidson thinks the fact that the lights have been seen in this
area indicates the authorities may be ready to disclose the "new
aircraft" in the near future. Previously, most of the "verified
saucers" have been seen over sparsely inhabited areas, Davidson
explained, and now, when they appear here, it may indicate that
"secrecy" is not so important any more.
