“A light doing acrobatics near Ocala observed for 15 minutes but did not gain on it. Light rose and quickly disappeared among stars. Almost immediately a second but white light was seen under the haze above Ocala. This rapidly came toward them on collision course and pilots thought it was a sidewinder. Light made a sharp 90° turn and then disappeared. Third part of observation came when they approached Miami. Palm Beach Center informed them their radar had object following them, asked them to make a 360° turn. Pilot thought he identified light but was not certain. The most significant part of observation was the ‘sidewinder collision’ part. Pilots would probably not have reported total incident had it not been for the seeming near collision with light.”
