UFO sighted by radar and pilot

Summary

A CIA report describes an unidentified flying object simultaneously observed by radar and a pilot. The incident occurred when a KC-97 aircraft and a radar detected the same object for at least 49 minutes. This is unusual because such dual observations usually last only a few minutes at most. The pilot even communicated direction changes by radio that exactly matched what the radar displayed.

The report highlights the accuracy of the data and the coordination between visual and electronic observations. The prolonged duration of the event and the direct communication between pilot and controller make it a notable case. A complete report is expected to provide more details on this unexplained phenomenon.
