B-62 aircraft number 394 from Castle AFB, California, Commanded by Lt/Col 
J.H. Morris, of the 328 th Bombardment Squadron, 93d Bombardment -ing (H), made 
radar contact with an unidentified aircraft while participating in Strategic 
Air Command mission "Operation Powerflight" . Coordinates at time of contact; 
27 north - 47 east (approximately) • Speed of aircraft (B-52) at contact; 642 
knots per hour. Altitude; 39,000 feet. Visibility; night. Curation of contact; 
five (6) to seven (7) minutes, (approximately). Cell position of B-52 making 
contact; cell leader. Call sign of B-62; Runner 11. Uunner*s name; J^/sgt 
C^. Ballew.
Just prior to making rendezvous with tanker aircraft B-52 aircraft number 
394 picked up an unidentified aircraft on the A-3A gunnery scope. The return 
of the unidentified aircraft remained at the 6000 yard marker (center) of the 
scope for approximately five (5) to seven (7) minutes after which the $-52 
made a bank to the left, and the unidentified aircraft return disappeared off 
the scope to the left. The disappearance may have been caused by the change in 
direction of the B-62; however the unidentified aircraft seemed to disappear in 
the direction of the Baghdad Flight Identification Region. The unidentified 
aircraft gave a smaller return on the scope than a siimltaniously received 
return produced by a second B-62 aircraft riding at the 3000 yard marker of the 
scope. >
Significance । The unidentified aircraft appeared on the scope where no 
aircraft were expected. ;
