Re: Operation Charlie
William Kent’s encounter with ‘Charlie’ over East Anglia continued for 20 minutes as the ground controller supplied instructions and the navigator tried to capture the object on the Mosquito’s radar.
Postcard sent to Aid & Abet.
Information by Dr David Clarke from www.uk-ufo.org/condign/histcharlie and http:www.project1947.com
The site continues: A Mosquito of No. 23 Sqdn scrambled at 2327 hrs with pilot F/L Kent. An attempt was made to close when contact was made at 18,000 feet but ‘the observer was unable to hold it as the target was jerking violently’. Further contacts were obtained as the target fell rapidly to 2,000 feet, when both the blip and the mosquito disappeared below radar coverage.
