Initial data
At the airport in Colorado springs object was detected on radar. At this time, the plane of Braniff was landing on runway No. 35. The object on the radar behaved like a Ghost echo, perhaps a reflection from the earth from the plane of Braniff.
Flash object appeared approximately two times further than the flash from Braniff. However, when Braniff landed, the situation changed radically.
Flash UFO pulled to the right (East) and passed over the airport at a specified altitude of about 200 feet. The track of the object passed within 1.5 miles from the control tower. The object was not visible even in binoculars the staff in the control tower.
This case was recorded in SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS conducted by the University of Colorado, and there it was stated:
This has to be one of the most puzzling radar cases in history, and currently the conclusion is impossible.
It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, especially with regard to the reported changes in altitude, even if AP had been likely at the time.
Due to the weather situation, it may seem that AP was unlikely. In addition, what is the probability that the return of the AP appears just once and at that time, apparently, will be implemented a perfect ILS approach? (Wilson)

Original news
May 13, 1967; Colorado Springs, CO
4:40 MDT. At the Colorado Springs airport an object was picked up on radar. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The object blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO blip pulled to the right (east) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of about 200 ft. The object track passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, conducted by the University of Colorado, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely. Besides, what is the probability that an AP return would appear only once, and at that time appear to execute a perfect practice ILS approach? (Wilson)
Hypotheses
False targets on the radar
Marks from unknown unidentified targets appeared on the radar indicator screens. Mysterious reflected signals were also received in a clear atmosphere from areas where there seemed to be nothing…
