from where he thought he was—that he never did fly around the northern edge of the field and get in behind the UFO—then the UFO could have been a balloon.
But if you want to believe that the pilot knew where he was all during the chase, and he did have several thousand hours of flying time, then all you can conclude is that the UFO was an unknown.
I think the pilot summed up the situation very aptly when he told me, “I don’t know what it was, but I’ve never seen anything like it before or since—maybe it was a spaceship.”
I went back to Dayton stumped—maybe it was a spaceship.
