USS Princeton AN/SPY-1B radar tracks.

allegedevidenceScientific Instrumentation & Sensor Data

Aegis AN/SPY-1B tracks reported by Senior Chief Kevin Day: clusters at 80,000 ft dropping toward sea level, 28k ft to surface in ~0.78s, and reappearance at the jets' 60-mi CAP point. Raw tapes never released.

For ~2 weeks before the Nov 14 intercept, Fire Controlman Senior Chief Kevin Day on USS Princeton reported anomalous Aegis radar contacts ('AAVs') at >80,000 ft that descended at impossible rates and lacked normal flight patterns. The radar tasking vectored Fravor's pair to the visual encounter, and the radar allegedly reacquired the object ~60 mi away seconds later. These tracks underpin the impossible-kinematics case, but the underlying SPY-1 radar data has never been publicly released for independent analysis - so the figures rest on sworn testimony, not verifiable telemetry.
