Ronald Reagan is convinced he saw a UFO, it was revealed last night.
He was so amazed he ordered the pilot of the plane he was in to follow the mystery object as it zig-zagged zcross the night sky.
The President said later: "When I got off the plane, I told Nancy all about it and we read up on the long history of UFOs. "You know even the Egyptains referred to UFOs in their hieroglyphics."
SPEED
Veteran pilot Bill Paynter, 72, who was at the controls, said: "President Reagan and the others called my attention to a big light flying a bit behind my plane. It appeared to be several hundred yards away. It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate, then it appeared to elongate.
The close encounter, revealed in a new book, backed up Reagan's theory about aliens in space - apparently he once said he believed in flying saucers.
