NARRATIVE

In about June of 1965, while in the US Navy, aboard a destroyer in the Western Pacific, we observed a UFO on radar at about midnight one night. We first picked up the object on our long-range air search radar at about 300 miles.  
It flew "down" our radar beam (descended towards our ship), overflew us and then exited on a reverse profile, disappearing at about 300 miles again.  This happened in an extremely short period of time. 
In the ensuing 40 years, I've forgotten the particulars, but I do remember that we calculated the craft's speed in excess of 50,000 mph.  This was not a so-called "ghost" image, or a radar signal bouncing off the moon. 
We were a seasoned crew of trained radar experts. We knew what we were seeing and tracking.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
