Initial data
The ADC radar station, the U.S. air force 865th ACWRON, AFS Las Vegas (Angel Peak, Nevada), senior Director, 1st Lieutenant Clifford E. Pocock, operator Walter Lyons, and control technician Armand Terrien using the FPS-3A L - radar search radar tracked the target with an average speed of about 6,200 mph for 48 seconds. [?], when it "stopped abruptly" and "remained stationary" for 12 seconds to the East-northeast (ENE) when azimuth of 75°, with a range of 85 miles, North of the latitude of the Grand canyon.
Then the objective moves in the direction of about 7,000 mph on 85°, moving in the last 72 seconds and then disappears at the maximum range of a radar with an azimuth of 81° to 224 miles range (near Marble canyon, Arizona).
The target responded to encrypted military IFF transponder signals and transmitted encrypted responses. A similar phenomenon for 2 days before it was seen night team, but no one else in recent years.
