Initial data
Radar United States Navy officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told about several cases of unexplained objects on radar in the area between GUAM and Saipan in the summer of 1945.
They usually looked like "large groups" of echo signals detected at a distance of about 100 miles from the aircraft. The speed was over 1000 miles per hour.
They "passed over head at an altitude of about two thousand feet and displayed on the radar screen as a particularly solid object".
Observers from the aircraft saw nothing, as the staff serving the radar. The equipment was thoroughly tested and recognized that it is functioning properly.

Original news
A US Navy radar officer who requested anonymity recalled several incidents of unexplained radar returns on his vessel’s air search radar in the area between Guam and Saipan during the summer of 1945. Typically they appeared as “large groups” of echoes detected at about 100 miles range on courses inbound towards the ship. Plotted speeds were over 1000 mph. The targets “passed overhead at approximately two thousand feet and showed up on the radar screen as definitely solid objects.” Visual lookouts on alert deckside saw nothing, and the radar officer himself on one occasion went on deck to search the sky, but he too saw nothing. He was adamant that the targets were not due to “ionized clouds, inversions, sea gulls, mechanical defects, or any of the other common explanations.” The equipment was carefully checked and found to be functioning properly.

False targets on the radar
Marks from unknown unidentified targets appeared on the radar indicator screens. Mysterious reflected signals were also received in a clear atmosphere from areas where there seemed to be nothing…
