Los Alamos, New Mexico: Atomic base radar tracks five metallic objects at about 4,500 mph

In fall 1949 a radar-tracking UFO case, with possible visual confirmation, took place at a key atomic base, probably Los Alamos, New Mexico. The base radar scope covered 200 miles of sky up to 100,000 feet. A legitimate radar contact tracked five apparently metallic objects at a great height moving south and crossing the radar scope in less than 4 minutes, an average of about 4,500 mph. Eberhart cites the Life article "Have We Visitors from Space?" of 7 April 1952 and a letter of 23 November 1970 in the Department of Energy's James Tuck correspondence from the PURSUE release. 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.
