What do military radar reports say about objects moving at high speed?
AI answer drawn from the declassified files — it can be wrong. Check the sources.
Military radar reports have documented objects moving at high speeds, sometimes described as "fantastic" or "incredible." For example, in 1976, radar detected an object moving east to west at 2000 to 4000 miles per hour, with no sonic boom reported [4]. Additionally, temperature inversion reflections can create radar returns that mimic aircraft, with speeds ranging from zero to "fantastic" rates [2]. These reports often lead to unsuccessful interception attempts [6].
