Canadian Air International Weather-Radar Target

“Hall reports Captain Rick Olsen and the first officer of a Canadian Air International flight at 31,000 feet observing a weather-radar target about fifty miles away at approximately their altitude/course for about four minutes; the geometry yielded an apparent speed estimate near 5,400 mph.”

“No visual object was reported in the Canadian Air case, and Hall’s high speed figure is an inference from the reported radar presentation and duration rather than an independently reconstructed trajectory.”

“Hall says the 1964 report listed 81 radar UFO cases through 1962 and that at least 34 additional radar cases had accumulated since 1964, but that complete technical data often were unavailable and there was no systematic unclassified scientific collection program.”

“Hall concludes that accumulated radar reports suggest unexplained aerial phenomena worthy of rigorous study, while repeatedly noting the inadequacy of available technical documentation.”

“Table 1 begins a post-1964 radar-case index including Flying Tiger over the Pacific, Wynnewood, Wichita, Michigan–Minnesota, Edwards AFB, Skowhegan, Dexter/Selfridge, Columbus and Atlanta.”

“Table 1 continues with Atlantic City, White Sands, Minot, Alberta, Bismarck, McAlester, Turin, Milan, Tequesquitengo, Falconbridge and Port Austin radar cases.”

“Table 1 continues with Tehran, Bogota, Omaha, Oxnard–Los Angeles, Colorado/South Dakota, Ocala, New Zealand, Hailey and Dover radar cases.”

“Table 1 concludes with Burlington, Perth, Hessdalen, Brazil, JAL 1628, Toronto–Winnipeg, Pereslavl, Wavre, Skibo and Concepcion radar cases.”
