Radar Officers Find No Menace in Saucers, Air Force Says
The Air Force confirmed most radar saucer sightings are natural or hoaxes and found no evidence of a threat to the United States. Maj. Gen. John A. Samford and Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey cited 2000 reports since 1947, with about one fifth remaining unexplained. Temperature inversions and radar limits may account for many blips in Washington area observations.

Radar Tricks Forge Flying Saucer Fears
Air Force experts say radar can mislead with weather and debris. Warm air over cool air bends waves causing false readings, as cases at Wright-Patterson and other bases show. In one incident a radar blip led a night fighter toward the ground before flipping upward to safety, then repeated twice more.
