Initial data
The witness reports:
"At 23: 00 we got a call from the Sheriff's Department and said they were looking at a UFO. We looked at the radar and very quickly noticed a target in the area of the Western direction. There were three controllers and me.
We watched the target, and it stopped, changed direction to the North, went North for about three miles, stopped again, went southwest for five miles, stopped again, went West straight to the Mississippi river, stopped there, and continued West.
It covered 54 miles in three and a half minutes, plus four stops. We were getting strong returns. There were no known aircraft in the area. I've never seen a plane spin so fast at this speed. The stops were very steep, and the turns were very steep. I don't know of any aircraft that can turn that fast.
We noticed the second object at 11:00 p.m. at 4: 00 p.m. it moved southwest until it was directly over the Mississippi river, at which time it turned South, ran parallel directly over the river for about half a mile, and moved West-southwest. When I found the second object, I called the Sheriff's Department and was informed that they also observed another object.
The position the Sheriff gave me correlates with the goals we saw."
Original news

Summary: “We had a call from the sheriff’s department at 11:00 PM, and they said they were looking at a UFO. We looked on the radar and observed the target in the area westbound, very fast. There were three controllers and myself. We watched the target and it stopped, changed direction to a north heading, went north for about three miles, stopped again, went southwest for five miles, stopped again, went westbound right up to the Mississippi River, stopped there, then continued westbound. It covered 54 miles in three-and-one half minutes, plus it stopped four times. We were receiving a strong return. There were no known aircraft in the area. I have never seen an aircraft at that speed turn that fast. The stops were very abrupt and the turns were very abrupt. I don’t know of any airplane that can turn that fast. We picked up a second object at 11:04 PM and it proceeded southwest until it was directly over the Mississippi River at which time it turned southbound and paralleled right over the river for about half-a-mile and moved away to the west-southwest. After we picked up the second object, I checked back with the sheriff’s department and was advised that they had observed another object. The position the sheriff gave me correlated with the targets we saw.”
