   1. Unidentj fied flyfr1g objects w~re observed on radar by personnel of Detachment 11 2 11
  37th AC&W Squadron. The return variPd in shape from a V shape to \<J $hape to M shape.
 It faded after several minutes of observation.
   2. It is the opinion of electronics personni-1 in this Division th1t such a return
  ·ght hav~ be--n caused by:
      a . Anomalous Propagation
           b.      Sbip-Bornt- rad~r janm:iing Detachment 11 2 11 radar

           c.      Geese or Storks                   in f1 igbt.

   3. Logical deduction is that on~ of above mentiohed possibilities is the cause for
  his radar return.
