11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS At 15512, 1 Aug 50 the 664 ACW Sq painted a target 20 mile N of Wright-Patterson AFB and traveling on a course of 240 deg at 400 knots. Two F-86's were vectored toward the target but the radar did not have a height finder. The two jets were flying at 30,000 ft and when they reached the area the controller requested them to get visual. At approximately this time ground control failed in two pilots sighted an object far above them and one pilot managed to photograph the object but they could not reach the altitude of the object because it was too high.

Comments: The original object painted by this radar was an aircraft flying out of Cleveland. The object observed by the pilots was later positively identified as an upper air pocket in Columbus.
