FWIW, I was a computer maintenance man on the NORAD SAGE system and was on duty the night this happened (this incident was later declassified and featured on the show "Unsolved Mysteries.") I witnessed (from the Air Defense scopes) these "unknowns" making all kinds of increadible maneuvers.

Interesting article, thanks. I saw similar (visually) around 1965, including chase fighter near Moses Lake, WA. Few years later worked on IBM 360/370 at University of Victoria, B.C.
