- Trajectory (Lift/Propulsion)
- Direction: Unspecified; Movement: While flying at 20,000 ft pilot of Archie 29 was instructed to close in on unidentified object at 290º from radar station, at approximately 80 miles. First it appeared to be hovering at 10 o'clock position relative to the aircraft. Archie 29 tried to close, and was calling direction changes to station. The object began to move slowly. Then the object began climbing. The pilot then lost visual contact when object reached 40-50,000 ft. The object then accelerated and moved off in a NE direction painted on scopes, but then contact was lost both radar and visual. 5 smaller objects were detected on the scoped 5-10,000 below the KC-97s. At30º True, 60 miles from station, the objects were moving very fast, changing direction and azimuth jumping on and off scopes, forming circular pattern, changing to line abreast. Travelling 10-20 miles then changing direction. The bay passed within 5 miles of the objects, not known of objects seen by the C119 crew. ; Propulsion: Unspecified; Speed: Unspecified; Distance: Unspecified; Altitude:up to 40-50,000 ft visually ; Angle of Observation: Unspecified; Effects: Unspecified
