Tsu Shima Japan radar-visual unidentified-object report — September 28, 1952

In the following sketch place an "A" at the position the object was when you first saw it, and a "B" at its position when you last saw it. Looking North white object moved in NorthWest at Northwest course The object was not in a distinct or sharply defined motion, but rather moved in a northerly course. I am reasonably sure it moved forward no more than two half-dollar lengths which appeared at full view for several seconds. Question 18: While the object moved forward, the body rolled or listed, completing this performance, behind a semi-permanent obscuration. Remarks: No meteors or aircraft were observed during the sighting. Was anyone else with you at the time you saw the object? (Circle One): Yes or No 29.1 IF you answered YES, did they see the object too? (Circle One): Yes or No 29.2 Please list their names and addresses: The image contains no photograph. Description of Object: On two separate outbound tracks from TAUTSU SAKI, Japan, entering an azimuth of 030° to 070° in relation to TAUTSU SAKI (previously reported under Case 125/52). but smaller in shape with a trace and trailing approximately two to three miles to the west of airclafts. Weather: The weather was reported as CAVU, scattered clouds. Air Traffic: Five different aircraft flying amber 2. At 2052I the target was picked up on the radar scope and was tracked to 2054I, when it passed off the scope. The target appeared to be at 30,000 feet and was observed for a period of approximately 2 minutes. The target was observed to travel at a speed of approximately 1,500 MPH, which is too fast for any aircraft known to be operating in that area and did not show this condition.
