p180 – 182 The crews of six RAF Tornado jets reported being overtaken by a giant UFO, whilst flying over Germany during an exercise controlled by Dutch radar on 5 November 1990. The pilots believed that this could have been a test flight for the then top-secret USAF Stealth Fighter. Their brief report and internal discussion can be found here (further details p157). It later emerged that the pilots had actually seen burning debris from a Soviet rocket body, used to launch a satellite into orbit.

Of course, Torres never actually saw anything, just radar returns. Radar returns that are highly similar to those produced by electronic countermeasures.
And his wingman tells a different story.
A description which could be indicative of jamming.
an unidentified flying object with very unusual flight patterns. In the initial briefing, it was suggested to us that the 'bogey' actually was motionless for long intervals.
I specifically recall being advised that more than one GCI site and multiple 'unknowns' were involved and that the area extended into Scotland.
Again, this fits descriptions of the effects of jamming. But two very different briefs from GCI.
Information from the controller indicated the unknowns were changing speed and altitude quite frequently.

One example (there are others), from here.
Torres recalls a GCI briefing on only one contact.

Roberson's account says GCI reported multiple contacts over a wide area.
