The crew members had visual contact with the objects as they streaked past their aircraft.&nbsp; <p>After several minutes of maneuvering around the B-29, the five objects, still moving over 5000 mph, merged with a larger object which appeared on radar as a huge blip and began to accelerate and flashed across the three radar scopes at a speed computed to be over 9000 mph.&nbsp; <p>Statement of 1st Lt Norman Karas (USAF Blue Book record) :&nbsp; <br>" On 6 December 1952, while flying over the Gulf of Mexico towards Galveston, Texas, the flight engineer finished transferring fuel and I then turned on my radar set. I noticed an unidentified target approaching our aircraft at terrific rate odf speed.<p> I timed it as best as I could with my stopwatch over a known distance and the instructor flight engineer computed the speed at 5,240 mph. I alerted the entire crew to look for the object visually and some flashes of light were noticed. The closest the objects came were approximately 20 miles.<p> I saw about 20 objects in all, sometimes as much as&nbsp; two and three on the scope at one time. I re-calibrated the set and there was no change. The object was small and possibly round .......".<p> "I also noticed&nbsp; a large return come up to within 40 miles of our tail from behind, and then disappeared. To the best of my knowledge, I believe that this object was real and moved at an extremely high speed and was not a set malfunction or optical illusion".&nbsp; <p>Statement of 1st Lt William W. Naumann (USAF Blue Book record) :&nbsp; "Contact was broken off at 05:35 after a group of the blips merged into a &frac12; inch curved arc about 30 miles from our aircraft at 320 degrees and proceeded across the scope and off it at a computed speed of over 9,000 mph.&nbsp;<p> <p>AIRCRAFT INFORMATION&nbsp; <br>Type of Aircraft&nbsp; B-29 bomber&nbsp; <br>Airline or Air Force&nbsp; USAF&nbsp; <br>Flight origine&nbsp; <br>Flight destination&nbsp;&nbsp; Galveston, Texas&nbsp; <br>Altitude&nbsp; <br>speed&nbsp; <p>UFO INFORMATION&nbsp; <br>Number&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 then 1&nbsp; <br>Shape&nbsp; <br>Size&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 small then one large&nbsp; <br>Color&nbsp; <br>Altitude (estimation)&nbsp; <br>Course&nbsp; <br>Speed (estimation)&nbsp; <p>RADAR INFORMATION&nbsp; <br>Radar type Airborne&nbsp; <br>Radar set(s) number one (three radar scopes) <br>Radar Location airborne&nbsp; <br>Number of target(s) several&nbsp; <br>Target size&nbsp; <br>Target altitude 18,000 ft&nbsp; <br>Target speed 5240 to 9 000 mph&nbsp; <br>Trajectory&nbsp; <br>Duration&nbsp; <p>EME&nbsp; <br>Distance UFO - A/C&nbsp; <br>Weather&nbsp; <p>Witness(es)&nbsp; B-29 (three crew members) including : 1st Lt Norman Karas and 1st Lt William W.
