The article (starts
on page 1) reports on two
March 1957 Airplane/UFO encounters:
Pan American Captain Matthew A.
Van Winkle sighted a brilliant greenish-white unknown object at the half-way
point on the flight from New York City to San Juan, Puerto Rico on the early
morning of 9 March 1957. The UFO was also sighted from seven other aircraft.
On the night of 8 March 1957, Victor
Hancock and Guy Miller, Tennessee Gas Transmission Co. DC-3 pilots, sighted a
UFO over Houston, Texas. The UFO played cat-and-mouse with them for 10 minutes.
Quote from the article:
“ ‘I still don’t know what it
was, but it knew we were following it,’ Hancock said. ‘When it wanted to it
kept ahead of us easily. It would seem to stop, then when we caught up with it,
it would be gone.’
Hancock said there were three
large lights – ‘white and brilliant’ on the ‘thing.’
Hancock notified Ellington Air
Force Base but the Air Force was unable to pick up the flying object on its
radar.
Similar objects were reported
sighted over Houston and San Angelo last week.”
