Telegraph, New Hampshire
The UFO encounter occurred in
the skies over San Jose Municipal
Airport , California
Quote from the article:
“The object was about 10 feet in diameter, they
said, and emitted a bright, red, pulsating light.
The strange object was also
seen by two controllers in the airport tower but could not be detected on the
radar.
Gary Rounds, 21, who was
piloting the rented Cessna 150, and his passenger Charles Shackleford, 20, also
a pilot, said the object appeared to head straight for their plane Monday
night as they were practicing landings and takeoffs.
Gutterud (Rich Gutterud) and air controller Randy
Blount, both of whom saw the UFO, said the object followed the plane briefly,
hovered, ‘then it just took off at an extremely high rate of speed.’ ”
