1
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:04,490
my name is Roy Moore

2
00:00:09,650 --> 00:00:07,440
I'm a retired United States Air Force

3
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:09,660
pilot

4
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:13,980
I enlisted in the Air Force in 1949.

5
00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:23,570
stationed in Bergstrom Air Force Base in

6
00:00:28,609 --> 00:00:26,519
Austin Texas and from there

7
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:28,619
to kadena Air Base

8
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:30,900
in Okinawa

9
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:33,180
at Canada air base to Okinawa I

10
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:36,780
transitioned into the F-100 Super Saver

11
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:44,990
in August of 1957

12
00:00:50,569 --> 00:00:47,820
my unit moved to Clark Air Base in the

13
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:53,990
I was a young officer flying f-100s and

14
00:00:57,770 --> 00:00:55,980
the squadron commander made me the

15
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,780
Squadron maintenance officer on a

16
00:01:02,090 --> 00:00:59,760
temporary basis

17
00:01:04,009 --> 00:01:02,100
is a squadron maintenance officer I flew

18
00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:04,019
the test flights

19
00:01:10,609 --> 00:01:07,020
for the maintenance test flights after

20
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,619
major maintenance on all the airframes

21
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:13,439
when I flew test flights

22
00:01:18,649 --> 00:01:15,200
in the Super Saver

23
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:18,659
I normally flew slick Wing that is I had

24
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:21,720
no pylons no external tanks no drag on

25
00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:22,860
the aircraft

26
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:25,080
and it was a true fighter airplane with

27
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:30,770
it would go easily supersonic up to

28
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:33,479
about 1.5 Mach

29
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:36,360
which is depending on the altitude up to

30
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:39,360
1100 miles an hour

31
00:01:49,969 --> 00:01:45,649
in the afternoon

32
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:49,979
was on a Westerly heading over the

33
00:01:54,889 --> 00:01:52,680
northern Philippines

34
00:01:58,130 --> 00:01:54,899
when I saw a

35
00:02:00,830 --> 00:01:58,140
another airframe or aircraft

36
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:00,840
at my one o'clock slightly higher than

37
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,530
being finished with the test top I

38
00:02:10,729 --> 00:02:08,640
decided to hassle with the

39
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:10,739
other aircraft which is a common

40
00:02:14,570 --> 00:02:12,300
practice

41
00:02:16,910 --> 00:02:14,580
and fighter airplanes so I dropped my

42
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:16,920
nose lit the afterburner went Supersonic

43
00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:20,340
and turned toward the other aircraft

44
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:23,580
normally that aircraft would climb to

45
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,020
gain altitude

46
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:27,599
to gain an advantage

47
00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:29,400
but he did not

48
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:32,040
he turned away from me

49
00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:35,340
and I thought no problem I can easily

50
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,239
catch him because by then I was at about

51
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,760
1.3 Mach or somewhere around a thousand

52
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:43,680
miles an hour

53
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,260
the aircraft started that I attacked

54
00:02:49,729 --> 00:02:48,239
started to climb

55
00:02:52,970 --> 00:02:49,739
by then he would have been on a

56
00:02:58,369 --> 00:02:56,210
and he climbed at about a 20 degree

57
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,379
angle

58
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:00,959
he accelerated in a very short period of

59
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,599
time to about five

60
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:06,000
and it watered my eyes I could not

61
00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:08,040
believe that anything could move that

62
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:14,149
I squawked emergency on my iff

63
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:17,519
identifier that's an attachment to the

64
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:20,159
airplane and transmitter that identifies

65
00:03:23,809 --> 00:03:22,440
whether you're a friendly aircraft or

66
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:23,819
not

67
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:27,300
they immediately picked me up from the

68
00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:30,060
ground saw me on radar

69
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:33,540
acknowledge my emergency Spark

70
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:35,940
and I told him that I had

71
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:38,940
some kind of an aircraft at my 12

72
00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:41,640
o'clock at a very high rate of speed

73
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:44,040
they said we have you in sight on the

74
00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:44,940
screen

75
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:47,220
but we don't have anything at your 12

76
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:48,180
o'clock

77
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:54,649
whatever it was climbed at a

78
00:04:00,830 --> 00:03:57,360
unbelievable rate of speed

79
00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:00,840
until it was totally out of sight

80
00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:05,940
I never saw an airframe only a light

81
00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:09,540
and I've been over that in my mind many

82
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:13,140
many times it was not a reflection of a

83
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:16,320
star I followed the light through my

84
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:18,660
front windscreen which is also the Gun

85
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:19,680
Sight

86
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:22,560
through the right quarter panel as I

87
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:24,540
turned toward him

88
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:28,560
through the canopy which is a third

89
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:32,100
window out of the aircraft

90
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:35,820
until I picked him up again in my gun

91
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:39,960
sight front panel

92
00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:43,199
as he started to climb so it was not a

93
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:47,100
reflection of some star or other light

94
00:04:52,249 --> 00:04:50,639
source it was definitely an airframe of

95
00:04:57,790 --> 00:04:52,259
some sort

96
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:01,249
intelligent control whether human or the

97
00:05:07,730 --> 00:05:04,620
other worldly being I have no idea

98
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:07,740
at the time we had no aircraft in the

99
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:10,440
inventory and now 50 years later we

100
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:12,900
still have no aircraft that will perform

101
00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:17,340
the way that airframe performed

102
00:05:25,370 --> 00:05:20,639
we don't have anything that will fly now

103
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:25,380
at Mach 5 in atmosphere from 30 to 50

104
00:05:28,490 --> 00:05:26,460
000 feet

105
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:28,500
it would burn up

106
00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:31,500
we have things that will travel faster

107
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:34,380
than Mach 5 but only at very high

108
00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:37,380
altitudes are in outer space

109
00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:39,900
I don't have an explanation for what I

110
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:42,419
saw except that I feel very confident

111
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:46,080
that it was an aircraft or an airframe

112
00:05:51,529 --> 00:05:49,020
a flying object from some other

113
00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:51,539
civilization outside the Earth

114
00:05:58,010 --> 00:05:54,660
and that's my story and that's the way I

115
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,020
recall it and I have not embellished or

116
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:00,720
exaggerated

117
00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:09,710
that's the end of my story should we

118
00:06:16,969 --> 00:06:14,450
a bunch of qualities yes yes you got

119
00:06:20,170 --> 00:06:16,979
anything else you want to put on yes uh

120
00:06:22,909 --> 00:06:20,180

121
00:06:27,409 --> 00:06:22,919
