AI-Generated Summary
An RHAF pilot observed high-altitude contrails near Volos, Greece, in 1958. The incident was officially attributed to an aircraft despite the lack of radar confirmation.
On November 13, 1958, at 0810Z, a Royal Hellenic Air Force (RHAF) pilot flying an F84G aircraft near Volos, Greece, at an altitude of 43,000 feet, observed contrails at approximately 55,000 feet. The pilot reported that the contrails veered to the North-North-East and subsequently disappeared to the North. The pilot estimated the speed of the unknown object to be 500 knots. During the observation, the pilot was in communication with a radar site; however, while the radar was able to track the pilot's own aircraft, it failed to obtain a contact on the unknown object. The incident was documented by Major Norman H. Blitch, Assistant Air Attache, under report number IR-702-58. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, AFCIN, was that the contrails were undoubtedly produced by an aircraft, despite the observer's initial classification of the object as an unknown aircraft.
The contrails were no doubt produced by an a/c. The obj was called an "unknown a/c" by the observer.
