1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Yes, how are you?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Good morning, how are you?

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I'm pretty good, I got some information for you.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
And I'm the supervisor in Baltimore Approach Control.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Yes.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Alright, we have an aircraft that sighted a UFO, at least that's what they said it was.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Are you there?

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Yes.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Okay, the number of the aircraft, I'll just give you a synopsis of the way I've got it

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
written down at 1500 Greenwich Universal Coordinated Time rather.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:48,000
November 8241 Zulu, a Piper Cherokee, was operating on an IFR flight plan going from Baltimore, Maryland to Iceland, Long Island, New York.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
The aircraft was level at 5000 feet in the vicinity of Rock Hall, Maryland.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And the pilot reported an object, passed approximately one-eighth of a mile in front of the aircraft, appeared to be westbound.

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And it was described as being box-shaped, approximately the size of a washing machine box.

15
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Okay.

16
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And it had antenna.

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Okay.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I'm sorry, I've got a supervisor over here that's giving me needles, okay.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And another aircraft in a vicinity, which is November 2, which is an FAA aircraft, a citation jet, was in that area doing air work at 7,500 feet.

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
He agreed to take a vector to the vicinity of this other aircraft.

21
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And he stated, I see something, but he did not describe it.

22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:12,000
He suggested that we check with the people in a restricted area firing range up at Aberdeen to see if they hadn't launched something.

23
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I did, and they did not.

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Okay.

25
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Also, we check with our local weather bureau.

26
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
They have no knowledge of any radio son or weather balloons being released at the time.

27
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And that's about the size of it.

28
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Okay.

29
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
The pilot did not identify himself.

30
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
We can find that out.

31
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
She was on an IFR flight plan, but no, the pilot did not give us that information.

32
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Again, it's documented here somewhere.

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay.

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
All right, sir, we thank you very much.

35
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Okay, in your name?

36
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Robert Gribble, G-R-I-B-B-L-E.

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Okay, fine.

38
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
We appreciate your help.

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Yeah, you take care.

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Bye.
