...know what was going on over its own head. But last week the Department of Defense proudly announced that the satellite had been identified. It was a space derelict, the remains of an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray. The dark satellite was the first object to demonstrate the effectiveness of the U.S.'s new watch on space. And the three-week time lag in identification was proof that the system still lacks full coordination and that some bugs still have to be ironed...
...small satellite unless they know where to look. Big, 50-kw. transmitters were established at Gila River, near Phoenix, Ariz, and Jordan Lake, Ala., spraying radio waves upward in the shape of open fans. Some 250 miles on either side, receiving stations pick up signals that bounce off any object passing through the fans. By a kind of triangulation, the operators can make rough estimates of the object's speed, distance and course...
...astonished Norwegian Foreign Office hurriedly arranged a program for Mikoyan, and wondered what important object the wily Anastas had in mind. In his first speech in Norway, Mikoyan declared that the Soviet Union had never attacked any country (Finnish, Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian papers, please copy) and would not attack Norway either. Turning to Prime Minister Gerhardsen, he asked: "Can you promise me the same?" Said one stunned Norwegian: "Has Mikoyan come here simply to get a promise that Norway will not attack the Soviet Union...
Silently tumbling in a near-Polar orbit last week was a mysterious object described as a spook satellite. Spotted by Navy radio space scanners, it is 19 ft. by 5 ft., and ranges in its orbit from an apogee of 1,074 miles to a perigee of 134 miles. The Soviets declared it was not one of theirs. U.S. spacemen said it was not one of theirs. Was it an enemy's "seeing-eye" space station (as retired Army Lieut. General James Gavin darkly suggested), or a curious visitor from outer space? No one knew for sure. Best guess...
Blackout. The intruder was first sighted, at midmorning three weeks ago, by a sonar operator during a training-patrol mission of three destroyers. The sonar's ping indicated a solid object moving slowly 90 ft. below the surface of the 30 mi. by 40 mi. Golfo Nuevo. The sonar target outsped the attacking destroyers, and out went a call for planes. A few hours later, a Neptune antisub plane reported spotting a submarine; ships and planes attacked, but the target disappeared...
