From the comments, apparently someone's translation:

"Radar system has demonstrated the speed of the object 9800 km / h, and the height of 19,780 meters. He changed direction instantly and did not send any indefikatsionnyh no signals, and a secondary radar pointed object by default as the number 00000. Aviabort also stated that the object interfered with aviation frequencies, complicating the work of pilots and air traffic controllers. "

I'm thinking AP (anomalous propagation) or some Ruskie electronic warfare type spoofing an air traffic control radar. BTW, no air traffic control radar I've ever heard of would track a target at 9,800 km/hr. The way a radar tracks, is it takes a detection from one scan and looks to see if there is another detection from a previous scan that can plausibly be associated with it. If so you start a provisional or tentative track. If you get several more returns that are mutually consistent, then you call it a firm track.

If Russian designers think that detections can be associated under the assumption that the target is moving in excess of 6000 mph (5200 kt) then they need to reexamine their assumptions.

Another problem is that very few air traffic control primary (as opposed to secondary or transpoder) radar make any attempt to judge altitude and those that do, do it poorly. The laws of physics are against them. I exclude PAR, precision approach radar, which measure altitude reasonably, but only operate in narrow approach corridors. The display is clearly a garden variety airport surveillance radar, almost certainly an S-Band rig with a 1.4 degree azimuth beamwidth and fan-shaped vertical beam. If it has pretense of being a height finder it'll form multiple stacked beams on receive.

Thank You for the Radar information. Interesting ID of 0000, for bogey (an evil golf ball?), though makes sense.

The Grey Ones up to their old tricks? I hear a new movie is coming out in March regarding a Grey One, here on Earth, being found out in the desert by two hikers. Could it be a movie advertisement? Unlikely, but fun to speculate.

Thanks.

Will check it out.
