Joe Thomas 10/24/2003 00:00:00 Name: Steve Weatherly The 662nd Radar Squadron at Oakdale PA (Z-62) was mentioned today as a nearby radar site during a TV program concerning the Kecksburg PA incident in Dec 65. Kecksburg is a reputed UFO crash site. AF personnel were thought to have been in Kecksburg. This could have been consistent with attempts to secure a potential military aircraft accident site. At the 689th (Mt Hebo OR) we did secure an aircraft accident site in 1966 that eventually turned out to be civilian. We were first to arrive and our presence at this OR crash site did cause considerable public interest. Your guess as good as mine about what really happened at Kecksburg. That there was a nearby SAGE LRR site is true and documented in the Radar Museum database. 10/23/2003 00:00:00 Name: Michael Torma Enjoyed my time at Friesing and Birkenfeld,Germany.

Terry 10/02/2003 00:00:00 Name: Gary Jacobs Assuming the air defense blimp surveillance project comes to fruition, wouldn`t it be cool if the Air Force reused some of the old SAGE-era unit designators and emblems? Witness the resurrection of nose art, B-1, B-2 and other tributes to the past, it might be fitting. |
