DRAGON-FIGHTERS OR...?

"During a routine flight in my J-35 "Dragon" fighter I spotted what I first took to be six other J-35's flying in a flank formation at a distance of about 7.000 meters. It was 1017 hours in the morning and I was over Lake Bolmen (province of Smaeland), cruising at 12.000 m altitude. The formation approached quickly on a contra-course from the left, and at an altitude of some 11.500 meters. I estimated their speed as maybe Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound). Immediately, I realized that these objects were no J-35's!

A FLYING-SHOW OF A HIGHER SCHOOL...

"All of a sudden the formation's speed was reduced to about 500 km/hour. As they passed my field of vision -at a distance of some 2.000 meters -the whole formation made a seconds-fast 90 degree turn. Simultaneously, there was a regrouping of the objects into a circle formation.

As the formation's speed reduced, I was able, for a few seconds, from my higher flight altitude, to have a close study of their exteriors. They were delta-shaped with a fin-like structure at the tail. They were silver-colored. In the next moment the six objects made a banking manoeuvre and disappeared with an enormous acceleration, rising into a southerly direction. As they made the immense change of speed (to about Mach 2) their color changed into a phosphorus shine.

NO RADAR-RETURNS

"The formation had only passed when I called up traffic control via my radio. The nearby radar station had not indicated the presence of these objects on their scopes. (Due to laws of military secrecy I cannot disclose the exact position or capacity of this radar station). Traffic control reported no civilian or military units in the sector at that moment. The whole sighting had lasted for only about 7 or 8 seconds.

A RESTATED POSITION ON UFOs

"I have thousands of flight-hours, in prop as well as jet-driven aircrafts. I have never before experienced anything like this. I have seen notes in the press about So-called flying saucers without taking much notice about them. Often I have smiled at such stories, believing them to be a myth.

"Now, having observed these objects I have restated my position. I think that UFOs really exist as physical objects. In my judgment I put the emphasis especially on the aerodynamic design of the objects. What caught me was the fast, sharp turn connected to a simultaneous regrouping from flank- to circle formation, and then the sudden acceleration. This was a completely unique experience in my many years of service with the Air Force. Due to my lacking experience in this field I refrain from stating any general conclusions".

Thus ends the report of the lieutenant-colonel. Answering my detail questions, while in my home, he made the following comments:

1. He was so surprised that he couldn't bring himself to call traffic control while the objects were still in sight,

2. "for military reasons" he couldn't give the exact date of the sighting nor the name of the Air Force base where he serves,
