A 90-foot UFO chased a news jet for two harrowing minutes during a cross-
|
|
country flight from Phoenix to Washington and we've got the photographs to
|
|
prove it!
|
|
|
|
The glowing, saucer shaped craft literally materialized out of thin air a few
|
|
hundred yards off our starboard side as NEWSAIR I, our company jet, cruised
|
|
east over the Painted desert.
|
|
|
|
The starship proceeded to perform "impossible" in-flight maneuvers as three
|
|
reporters and a photographer, including this correspondent, watched.
|
|
|
|
The UFO then dropped back into position behind us and flew a few feet off the
|
|
tail of our jet.
|
|
|
|
Seconds later, it veered off to the right, stopped dead in the air - and
|
|
vanished in a burst of light. "I've been a pilot for over 17 years and I've
|
|
never seen anything even remotely similar to this," said pilot Thomas Dale,
|
|
who monitored the UFO's bizarre flight pattern from the cockpit.
|
|
|
|
"It was 9:02 p.m., and we were flying at an altitude of 17,000 feet, when we
|
|
noticed a 90-foot object that had its own brilliant, metallic light flying
|
|
beside our jet. Even stranger, just a split second later, I realized it had
|
|
changed positions and was now flying over our heads.
|
|
|
|
"The maneuver was so sudden that I couldn't decide if I was losing perspective
|
|
or if the UFO really had changed positions that quickly.
|
|
|
|
"About that time I heard the reporters shouting in the back of the plane. Just
|
|
then, the UFO shot out a mile or so to our left and literally stopped in
|
|
midair."
|
|
|
|
Washington correspondent Mick Mann confirmed Dale's report - and picked up the
|
|
story. "I'm not really sure how to describe this, but as the UFO 'sat' there
|
|
in the sky, the craft began to dissipate until it looked like a cloud of
|
|
sparkling white dots,"he said.
|
|
|
|
"A few seconds later, it began to glow brightly, and as it did, the craft took
|
|
shape again. Then it began a rapid zigzag descent, which left a trail of
|
|
bright, glowing material in its wake.
|
|
|
|
"It flew over us, ahead of us, beside us and behind us like a cat playing with
|
|
a mouse. It was oval, actually shaped like a saucer, and intermittently gave
|
|
off white or green light.
|
|
|
|
"The only distinguishing characteristic was a single design on the belly of
|
|
the ship. To my eye, it looked like a backward 'K.' After flying all around
|
|
us, it dropped back behind the tail of our jet. Moments later, it shot off to
|
|
our right, stopped in midair and - BOOM! - vanished in a burst of light," said
|
|
Mann.
|
|
|
|
"We must've been followed fro at least 20 miles," the ppilot said. "I know
|
|
what I saw. I know I wasn't dreaming. But what that thing was doing was
|
|
physically impossible. It was the damnedest thing I've ever seen."
|
|
|
|
Roving News correspondent Rex Wolfe, a former UFO skeptic, said the encounter
|
|
left him reeling "in shock and disbelief."
|
|
|
|
"When everything started going down, I thought I was losing my sanity," he
|
|
said. "Thoughts raced through my mind. I started thingking about all the
|
|
people I've interviewed who claim to have had close encounters with UFOs. For
|
|
the first time, I realized that these people weren't crazy - they were just
|
|
like me. Through no fault of their own, they each had had an experience nobody
|
|
can explain."
|
|
|
|
Photographer Tex Albright captured the UFO on film. He called the drama "the
|
|
high point of my life and, in a way, the end of my career. There's no way to
|
|
top pictures like these," he said. "The question now is: 'Where do I go from
|
|
here?'"
|
|
|
|
Aviation officials didn't spot the UFO on radar and ther is no way for
|
|
authorities to corrborate what the News team saw. " We have photographs but so
|
|
do other people who have had close encounters with UFOs," said Albright. "As
|
|
of now, we can't prove anything at all."
