The claim is that this may have been some kind of test and that technology was being used to fool the radar. I say maybe, but I'm not sure why you would risk testing your radar spoofing tech on an active alert fighter during a critical period during the cold war. I would have thought you would do so in secret somewhere over a range. No advantage to testing on an active fighter, just disadvantages. And of course his weapons would have had to be disabled and if that attempt to disable had been unsuccessful, that's a lot of live rockets firing over a populated area. And did we have the tech to spoof radar in that way, all those years ago, and simulate a target accelerating away at Mach 10? Who knows. Edited July 25, 20223 yr by martin-w

I would have thought you would do so in secret somewhere over a range. No advantage to testing on an active fighter, just disadvantages. If I had been tasked with developing and testing a top secret radar spoofing technology, I would have done secret tests in a remote area with pilots and radar operators who knew what was going on, but I'd have to do at least one "live" test to make sure people who thought it was real would be properly spoofed. There were probably additional such tests which the pilots and radar operators never talked about publicly. The weapons would be secretly disabled by technicians who were my people. Part of the test would be to see whether a pilot would follow orders that would have started World War 3. This may have been the most important part of the test. Hook PS.

You can prove it works in the desert somewhere. You don't need the pilot to not know its a test. It either generates the right track on the radar or it doesn't. If it does it works. 2 hours ago, LHookins said: . Or, it could have been a real UFO. 😄 It was a real UFO. An UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object. 👍
