Portland, Maine coastal radar-visual reports

Record summary

Project Blue Book and civilian UFO catalogs include several reports from Maine’s coastal and military-airfield environment during the 1950s. These accounts generally concern lights, radar returns, or unusual aerial objects observed near Portland and nearby Atlantic approaches. They are potentially useful for comparing coastal geography, military interception procedures, weather, and the interpretation of distant aircraft or maritime lights. The reports should be recovered individually because later indexes can combine separate cases under a geographic heading and omit the original witness or instrument details.
