The RB-47 Encounter: The Military Aircraft That Tracked an Unknown Object for Hundreds of Miles

On July 17, 1957, an Air Force RB-47 carrying six officers crossed Louisiana during a return mission when pilot Lewis D. Chase and co-pilot James H. McCoid reported an intense white light with a bluish tint passing ahead of the aircraft.


Electronic-monitor operator Frank B. McClure had also reported unusual radar-like emissions received by the RB-47's passive direction-finding equipment. Later, near Dallas–Fort Worth, Chase diverted toward another light and contacted the Duncanville Air Defense radar station, call sign Utah.


The surviving records preserve visual reports, selected receiver bearings, a reported ground-radar exchange, and a major documentary conflict: the crew-side summary says Duncanville confirmed a target, while the station's own teletype reports negative contact with the object.


This episode follows the flight from Louisiana to Texas and Oklahoma, the records that survived, the Colorado investigation's wrong date, James McDonald's recovery of the 1957 file, and Philip Klass's competing reconstruction.
