1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
You have a report in the center?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Yes sir, this is the Supervisory Indianapolis Center.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Yes.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
We've got a controller that's been talking to some aircraft that have seen some sightings

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
of unusual objects over Charleston, West Virginia.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
And I'll put him on, let him describe what he saw to you, how's that sound?

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Thank you.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Hello there.

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yes sir.

10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Okay, we had an aircraft at 35,000 feet westbound.

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
They reported sightings of four objects.

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Three of them were at his altitude, and one of them was a lot lower.

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Well, I should say around 33,000 feet.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Yes.

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And we told him, if he wants to, he could deviate, and he started towards the objects,

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and he said he could never catch them.

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
They were out, they always stayed about 30 miles out in front of him.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Okay.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And he said they were just like, well, white dots basically is what he said.

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
And he said then later on, I think in the process of about three to five minutes,

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
one of the objects broke off the group of three and went northbound,

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and the other two just continued on towards the west.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Okay.

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Were you painting those?

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
No, we didn't see them down the radar at all.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Okay.

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Now how long did this last?

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Well, it lasted approximately 10 minutes.

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Okay.

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We had an aircraft lower reported first, and then they, in turn, told us about it,

31
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
and we asked an aircraft at 35,000 feet to look at it.

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Oh, they were the first ones to spot them then?

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Yeah, they were climbing up to 25,000 feet through 20,000 feet.

34
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Okay.

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
What time did that occur?

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Approximately, I'll call it 10 minutes ago.

37
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Okay.

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
All right, sir.

39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Thank you very much.

40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
All right.

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Appreciate the information.

42
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Okay.

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Bye.
