Woomera, Australia
Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
The archived assessment identifies Report No. 11 as a Woomera radar event on 8 October 1952. A well-defined radar echo was recorded with velocity and direction that the assessor considered compatible with the wind, although notable height fluctuations were also reported. The assessment explored an unusual atmospheric or ionized-cloud explanation and noted the recent Monte Bello atomic explosion only as a possible context, not as an established cause. The surviving excerpt does not provide a complete radar log, so the event is retained without a stronger conclusion.
