Background
The US Fourth Army created an operational plan for a green fireball observation and tracking network at Killeen Base in Camp Hood, Texas. The network had no cameras, but its four six-man observation posts were equipped with instruments for taking directional bearings. One of the posts served as the plotting center to coordinate and triangulate UFO sightings, and a roving patrol received new orders each day. Eberhart cites Brad Sparks and Jerome Clark in the International UFO Reporter (1985), the proceedings of the Sign Historical Group workshop (2001) and Clark's encyclopedia. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
