March ?,
1957; New York , New York
11:30-12:00
PM. Two airmen on their way to midnite chow noticed what they thought was an
unusually brite pair of stars. But, while they watched, the lights moved. At
first the reporting witness thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and he
asked his companion if he saw the movement also, and in which he gave an
affirmative answer. While they watched them they moved in a rather silly
erratic flight with no apparent reason, they maneuvered in a series of short
jirks and bursts of speed to the front, rear, up and down while changing color
slowly from a brillant white to a reddish orange. They’re jerky movements were
only a few hundred feet at a time while changing altitude from 1,000 to 2000 feet estimated.
After watching them for several minutes at a distance of about a half a mile
away he called Base Operations and reported the objects and their approximate
position and altitude. What he learned from the operations officer is that he
was going to call their GCA (Ground Control Approach) and see if they were
picking up anything on their scopes. They were, and two F-100’s were sent up to
investigate. He guessed the pilots decided to approach them from a dive because
they climbed to about 4,000
ft . and dove on the pair, and shortly after the dive
started, the UFOs took off in a level flight. When the F-100’s began to gain
speed the UFO’s dove straight down within about 200 ft of the ground and
continued to climb and dive too quickly for the jets to follow them, then
climbed out of sight in about 10 or 15 seconds. (Fran Ridge, Rich Vitello)
