세트가 오전 약 11시 10분경 포트 먼마우스 남동쪽 약 12,000야드 거리에서 빠르게 움직이는 저고도 비행 목표물을 포착했으며, 정확한 고도는 미확인. 목표물은 해안선을 따라 이동하는 것으로 보였고, 거리는 약간만 변했지만 방위각은 빠르게 변했다. 레이더 세트는 일반적으로 제트 항공기를 추적하기에 충분히 빠른 완전 보조 방위각 추적 모드로 전환되었지만, 이 경우에는 너무 느려서 사용할 수 없었다. 목표물은 북동쪽 약 14,000야드 거리에서 사라졌다. 이 목표물은 또한 항공기로서는 이례적으로 강한 반사파를 보였는데, 이는 일반적으로 해안선 선박에서 수신되는 강도와 비슷했다. 조작자는 처음에 목표물을 선박으로 식별했지만, 극도로 빠른 속도를 관찰한 후 선박일 수 없다는 것을 깨달았다. 9월 10일, 51년, 오후 3시 15분, SCR 584 레이더 세트가 포트 먼마우스 북쪽 약 42,000야드 거리에서 방위각으로 천천히 움직이는 목표물을 추적했으며, 고도각은 약 93,000피트의 극히 이례적인 1350밀이었다. 9월 11일, 51년, 오전 10시 50분, 두 대의 SCR 584 레이더 세트가 포트 먼마우스 북동쪽에서 동일한 목표물을 고도각으로 포착했다.
SET PICKED UP A FAST MOVING LOW FLYING TARGET, EXACT ALTITUDE UNDETER- MINED AT APPROXIMATELY ELEVEN TEN A.M. SOUTHEAST OF FT. MONMOUTH AT A RANGE OF ABOUT TWELVE THOUSAND YARDS. THE TARGET APPEARED TO APPROXIMATELY FOLLOW THE COAST LINE, CHANGING ITS RANGE ONLY SLIGHTLY BUT CHANGING ITS AZIMUTH RAPIDLY. THE RADAR SET WAS SWITCHED TO FULL AIDED AZIMUTH TRACKING WHICH NORMALLY IS FAST ENOUGH TO TRACK JET AIR- CRAFT, BUT IN THIS CASE WAS TOO SLOW TO BE RESORTED TO. TARGET WAS LOST IN THE N.E. AT A RANGE OF ABOUT FOURTEEN THOUSAND YARDS. THIS TARGET ALSO PRESENTED AN UNUSUALLY STRONG RETURN FOR AIRCRAFT BEING COMPARABLE IN STRENGTH TO THAT USUALLY RECEIVED FROM A COASTAL SHIP. THE OPERATOR INITIALLY IDENTIFIED TARGET AS A SHIP AND THEN REALIZED THAT IT COULD NOT BE A SHIP AFTER HE OBSERVED ITS EXTREME SPEED. SEPTEMBER TEN, FIFTYONE, AN SCR FIVE EIGHT FOUR RADAR SET AT THREE FIFTEEN PM TRACKING A TARGET WHICH MOVED ABOUT SLOWLY IN AZIMUTH NORTH OF FT. MONMOUTH AT A RANGE OF ABOUT FORTY TWO THOUSAND YARDS AT THE EXTREMELY UNUSUAL ELEVATION ANGLE OF THIRTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY MILS APPROXIMATELY NINETYTHREE THOUSAND ALTITUDE. ON SEPTEMBER ELEVEN, FIFTYONE, TWO SCR FIVE EIGHT FOUR RADAR SETS AT TEN FIFTY A.M. PICKED UP THE SAME TARGET NORTHEAST OF FT. MONMOUTH AT AN ELEVATION ANGLE
