1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,800 We were about to Medford, Oregon, I think slightly north of it, and we were flying ahead 2 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,800 and I realized it was moving much too fast. It was very bright, like I said, about first magnitude 3 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,800 star at three o'clock, and as it reached about the one o'clock position, it started getting very dim, 4 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:11,800 very rapidly, and it got to almost a twelve o'clock position, just disappeared. 5 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:19,800 It moved from our about three o'clock position to almost twelve o'clock position. 6 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,800 It, I would guess, between say seven to eight seconds. 7 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,800 I see. 8 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:35,800 It was much faster than say a satellite, you know, would be, but then again it was much slower than what a meteorite would be. 9 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:42,800 There was no outstanding glow to it. It was just like a star moving very fast. 10 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,800 When it vanished, did it just vanish suddenly or did it just fade out? 11 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,800 No, it faded out. It took probably about a second or a second and a half to fade out. 12 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,800 I see. 13 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Maybe two seconds. 14 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,800 Okay. Do you know if anybody else saw this? 15 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:03,800 Yes, all three of us saw it. I pointed it out, and the other two pilots just saw the, say, the fading out portion of it, 16 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800 and they definitely saw it. 17 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,800 Okay, but what time did that happen? 18 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,800 Well, that's the back track. You had to figure out what time we took off and, oh, that was sick. 19 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,800 Okay, just an approximate then. 20 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:26,800 We landed at nine ten about, so it must have been about eight thirty, eight between eight twenty and eight thirty, I would imagine. 21 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,800 Okay. 22 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,800 And the color was straight white on that? 23 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,800 Yes, it was. It was just like a star. 24 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,800 Okay. 25 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,800 All right, sir. Is there any way of getting the names of the other men involved? 26 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,800 I can give them to you if you want. 27 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,800 Okay. 28 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,800 I don't know if they'd object to it or not. 29 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,800 Oh, it's strictly confidential, anyway. 30 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,800 And you're with, what's your line was at? 31 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,800 Continental. 32 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,800 Continental, okay. 33 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,800 What was your flight number? 34 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,800 Three zero seven. 35 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,800 Seven. 36 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800 All right, sir. Is there anything else you can add to that? 37 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:08,800 Um, what, uh, it looked like, like I say, our heading was about, it was one sixty five degrees at the time. 38 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,800 It looked like it was cutting in front of us, probably at a heading about between one thirty and one forty. 39 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,800 Uh-huh. 40 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,800 That's what it looked like to us, I think. 41 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,800 A physical object associated with it. 42 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,800 I see. 43 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,800 Just a point like. 44 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,800 They didn't mention about any radar trackings, did they? 45 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,800 No, we asked them. 46 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,800 Uh-huh. 47 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,800 And they said no. 48 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,800 I see. Okay. 49 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,800 It might be a military airplane at a high altitude or something like that, but they did not tell us that. 50 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Okay, if we have any further questions, would it be all right to get back to you? 51 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,800 Yes, I do. 52 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,800 Okay, sir, and we sure appreciate your calling. 53 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,800 Okay. 54 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,800 And keep our number handy. 55 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,800 Okay, you're welcome. 56 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Thank you very much. 57 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,800 Okay. 58 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Bye.
