On June 1, 1955, an eastbound Air Force RB-47 surveillance aircraft above Devon Island, Nunavut, held an unknown radar target for 20 minutes while its ELINT system recorded apparent jamming signals near 9000 MHz; on the westbound return flight that evening it had another radar contact for 30 minutes at about 1.7 miles.
Background
At 3:00 p.m. on June 1, 1955, an eastbound Air Force Boeing RB-47 surveillance aircraft above Devon Island, Nunavut, picked up an unknown radar target for 20 minutes. Its ELINT system recorded the possible sweep of another radar nearby, indicating radar jamming signals at around 9000 MHz. On its return westbound flight at 6:00 p.m., the aircraft had a radar contact for 30 minutes at approximately 1.7 miles. The entry cites Tim Printy's article on the 1955 RB-47 contacts in SUNlite, Clifford E. Stone's UFOs Are Real and Jerome 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.
