So Open Skies Project is kind of more of a concept than anything.

This is one of many, many, many Cold War radar stations that was built due to the perceived threat of the Soviet Union. And it's one of the last that still remain in mostly intact and complete condition.

We've learned a ton. So this story in particular was one of the things that we kind of discovered during our research. I don't know... if we knew about it beforehand. But at some point in our initial research phase, we realized that the Calumet Air Force Station was the radar station that was in control of the interceptor when it disappeared.

And of course, as soon as we figured that out, we're like, OK, we're jumping all the way down this rabbit hole and we're going to learn everything that we can about this incident.

We did a lot of research about the radar station, about how intercepts work, about the jets themselves, about procedures and policies. And I think a lot of that stuff has been relatively untapped as far as this incident goes. The dots merging on the radar scope was the expected behavior for when an intercept was occurring.

And actually in the new accident report that we acquired that has the unredacted interviews, I want to read the exact statement from the radar operator at that time. I'm going to read just a piece of it. It says, and I quote, he merged perfectly with the bogey just about the time that he faded. So, It says right in there, he merged perfectly with the bogey.

So I mean, clearly that is the anticipated behavior of these systems at the time.
