Just wondering if Anyone is familiar with an incident in Montana in November 1976 (maybe 77?) in which two UFOs were tracked and scrambled on in East Central Montana (scrambled refers to the Air Force sending up, in this case F-4's to intercept the objects). The reason I ask is that I was there at the time, working the mid-shift at the 24th NORAD Region when all this went down. I was a Computer Maintenance Repairman on the IBM-Q7 SAGE Computer System used by NORAD for region control in those days. I saw some pretty strange things on both the AF and FAA consoles that night ... like objects doing a 180 degree turn at 400 -plus knots without even slowing down (like a ball bouncing off a wall).

Anyway, the next morning some Officers came and took the Master Operational Recording Tapes (MORT) away and there was never any explaination given as to what the results were. I saw an obscure reference to this incident in a UFO text file once, but was wondering if anyone else ever dug up any additional information about it? Even though I was there, I probably know less about it (except for what I saw) than anyone who studies this stuff. Comments/ Questions?
