Multiple military personnel watch a strange, unexplained target on a USAF radar screen.

Mailed Report from Member of U. S. Military in Baghdad:

On Monday morning, May 14, 2007, a number of USAF personnel became aware of a very strange return on their radar screens. Senior USAF personnel were summoned, and those present discussed the situation, trying to determine what the object might be.

Other individuals in different locations were made aware of the situation, possibly in order to obtain additional information about the object causing the return.

It is unclear to NUFORC what the final disposition of the incident was, but our vague understanding is that the object was seen to travel off the radar screen at high speed.
