David quicky snapped two colour photos as he and an ex American military pilot dived frantically to avoid the oval shaped spaceship. The first print, passed over to the United States Navy, showed an empty sky, but the second revealed a huge object with black rings around its top and bottom passing feet away from a wing. The Navy admits that it is completely baffled. The near-miss is recounted for the first time in today's Pilot magazine. David said: "As we neared the Mojave Desert under radar control it happened. We both suddenly realised that we had fast traffic in our 12 o'clock. "We pushed the control panel and ducked. A shadow flashed over us but there was absolutely no sound. We slowly raised our heads and asked: 'What the heck?' "We called the radar control tower to check if they had another aircraft and the answer was no. "We took the film to a one-hour photo shop and there it was. "One shot had nothing, but the second had the blurred image of the UFO."
