Radar tracked two large target ten miles apart heading directly toward the radar
USN Patuxent River NAS control tower operator Bernard Sujka and two other CTO's tracked two large target ten miles apart heading directly toward the radar station at about 7,000 mph, swerving off at 15 miles range, then approaching again to ten miles, then one target returned to eight miles range and made a high speed 160° turn. Unidentified objects were sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation.Three oval objects were observed by three male witnesses and radar, one of them an experienced observor, at an airfield (Sujka, Bernard; Schrecker).
