“Paul Selley recalled one episode involving five very fast radar targets and several similar night-shift events. He did not remember the five stopping or fighters scrambling, so Hastings concluded this was probably not the same five-target event Hastings personally observed in March 1967.”

“Joe Weinzetl told Hastings that he tracked high-speed unknowns and estimated one target at roughly 1,700 mph for about twenty seconds. Hastings says Jerry Webster generally confirmed the account but later did not respond to follow-up.”
