COMMENTS of Preparing Officer:

1. The possibility of a naval vessel with radar in the Hudson Straits is ruled out. A ship would have presented an identifiable return on the APQ-24 radar set.

2. Frequencies in the 700-800 and 900 megacycle group are unexplainable since no radar stations, U.S. or Canadian, are known to exist in the area within range of the B-36.

3. There are no aircraft assigned to the NEAC area
