Quote from the article, ‘HIDDEN REPORT – Pilot ‘Dog-Fights’ A UFO’: “The former AF pilot is now a captain on a major airline. Because of the airline’s policy, he had to remain anonymous as he described – off camera – his 12-year-old sighting.

At the time of the encounter, he and another AF pilot were flying F-86-D jet interceptors over the central San Joaquin Valley of California. After the Castle AFB tower asked if he could detect a UFO he saw a circular, luminescent object which he estimated as between 50 and 100 feet in diameter. As be tried to close in, with the second F-86, the UFO dived into a cloud.

In an attempt to box in the unknown object one pilot flew above the cloud, the other below it. A ‘dog-fight’ between cloud layers resulted, with the UFO ascending and descending vertically ‘at quite a speed.’

For a brief period, the captain reported, he got a radar lock-on to the object. As this happened, the UFO appeared to contract and fade away. At other times, he said, the object apparently would allow them to approach to a certain distance and then maneuver up and down to keep them from getting too close. Near the end of the encounter, the UFO reversed the chase pattern, following the second F-86 before finally disappearing upward into the clouds.

Details of the sighting were reported to Castle AFB.”

UFO News Article: “ ‘Fire Ball’ Dives At Pan Am Ship Flying Off Coast”

10 March 1957 
(Miami Sunday News, Florida)

The article (starts on page 1) reports on two March 1957 Airplane/UFO encounters:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2206&dat=19570310&id=bpMzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=c-oFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3135,3955803

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.”
