Office Memorandum • UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

TO : SAC SEATTLE

DATE: 6/22/54

FROM : SA J. FRANCIS SULLIVAN

SUBJECT: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS; Neah Bay 6/22/54

At 11:10 PM this date Special Agent Phil Howell OSI telephonically contacted this office to report that an identified flying object was picked up by the Radar station at Neah Bay between 1930 and 1945 this date. The object was 38 to 40 miles S.W. of Neah Bay at an Altitude of 1500 to 2000 feet. Two planes were "scrambled" from McChord Field to intercept and picked up a "blip" on the radar scopes in their planes. The "blip" separated into two "blips" as they were watching. They chased the "bkips" for 8 to 12 minutes. The "blips" faded from the scopes presumably because of fast air speed. The objects flew South then turned east when they faded. None of the pilots sighted the objects visually. The pilots were being interrogated by the intelligence officer at McChord. Other Radar stations were being contacted to ascertain if any further sightings were made. The 25th Air Division is submitting a report to the Air Technical Intelligence Center, Wright Patterson Field, Ohio.

HOWELL stated the report was received from the Intelligence Officer of the 25th Air Division.

The above information was furnished to GEORGE DAVIS of CIC at 11:25PM this date. Attempts to furnish information to DIO 13ND. were to no avail as no duty officer was available at DIO.
