CLAIM-138048reported
“Clark summarizes the RB-47 case as involving an unidentified object or source correlated across visual observation, radar, and ELINT direction-finding during the July 17, 1957 flight.”
CLAIM-138049reported
“The RB-47’s ELINT equipment detected an apparently airborne radar-like source whose signal resembled some characteristics of a common air-defense radar while differing in others.”
CLAIM-138050reported
“The specific detection involved S-band direction-finding equipment; Clark notes that the source’s apparent signal strength was unusually high in the crew’s analysis.”
CLAIM-138051reported
“The Wing Intelligence report recorded a signal moving rapidly “upscope” on the direction-finding display, behavior interpreted by the operator as indicating a rapidly moving airborne source while the aircraft was flying straight and level.”
CLAIM-138055reported
“At about 5:42 a.m., as the RB-47 increased speed and turned to pursue, the visually/electronically tracked object reportedly pulled ahead.”
CLAIM-138056reported
“The Duncanville air-defense radar station reportedly confirmed tracking an object at the location being reported by the RB-47 crew.”
CLAIM-138057reported
“Crew testimony and the case reconstruction describe episodes in which the visual light, ELINT signal, and radar target disappeared at effectively the same time and were later reacquired.”
CLAIM-138058reported
“During a later close approach, the crew estimated a range of about five nautical miles and an apparent object altitude near 15,000 feet before visual contact and ground-radar contact were again lost.”
CLAIM-138059reported
“After the RB-47 turned for home, the contemporaneous report says ELINT continued to direction-find the source off the aircraft’s tail from 6:02 until about 6:40 a.m., when it faded near Oklahoma City; later testimony also described radar tracking behind the aircraft.”
