13:25 Military radar at Knoxville airport suddenly detected 11, and possibly more, unidentified targets moving over the restricted flight zone at oak ridge.

At 11:30 the commander of the radar station sent a F-82. In the air nine minutes later, according to radar, the fighter was near the goals, but the pilot saw nothing. Ground-based observations also failed to detect anything in the sky.

Over the next two days I didn't see any unusual items neither visually nor on the radar.

Original news

A military radar unit at Knoxville Airport suddenly detected 11, “and possibly more,” unidentified targets moving over the restricted flight zone at Oak Ridge. This time action was taken. At 11:30, the radar station commander scrambled an F-82 fighter. It was in the air nine minutes later. The fighter was vectored toward two targets and, according to the radar, closed with the targets, but the pilot saw nothing. Ground observations also failed to detect anything in the sky. No unusual objects were seen visually or on radar for the next two days. Then the “dam broke.” On October 15, at 3:25 PM, three Oak Ridge security guards and a caretaker saw an exceedingly strange object.
