The brilliance of the object s lights kept the pilots from getting a definite idea of its shape. "I still don t know what it was," Hiller said. "rJhen it wanted to, it kept ahead of us easily. It would stop, or seem to stop, just under us~ rre would bank around, get close to it and. it would be gone aga1n.

PAN-All PIWT TRACI<S UFO 01~ RADAR 19)~: Piloting Pan American flight # 206A from Nassau to New York, Captain LilBrosdal (who will be remembered as one of the pilots involved in the Van Winkle sighting of March 8, 1957) and two of his crevr vratched a UFO both visu- al17 and on radar as. it "dogged" them at their speed, moving in the same direc- tion, southeast of their plane. At about 7:30 p.m. their position was 74 20' Weat., 30 .North; they uere flying at 16,000 feet through the tops of cumulus clouda. John tiiJ.bur, the enzj.neer, was in the co-pilot's seat; co-pilot George Jacobaort was navigating, and san the object first. Brosdal r~tes: About 50 miles east or Papa 3 -a check point betneen Nassau ar4 Tuna - the co.Pilot, ensineer and ~rsell" saw a very bright mite light. It seemed to g1ow in intensi.t7 to the point where it would be about three or four times as strons. as Venus rising and would then subside. This happened three or four time~; meanwhile, I 'came to' e!lough to check the radar screen. Sure enough, a .target showed up at 3 o'clock, 45 to 50 miles ~vay. Using the cursor on the face of the radar I checked the angle of sighting and it checked with the . visual. .angle. . . _ The light appeare~ to be stationary (on the seope), or moving in a north- east direction {same as u~). We watched the li~t visually for about four or live minutes, and on radar for twenty minutes." Neither the li~t nor the blip had atrT definite shape; the radar image i ndicated that it YTaS laraer than . DOr:nal aircraft. The scope Tla.! tuned to a 50-mile ranee. What L~ressed Cap- tain .Brosdal most was th~ intensity of the li[;ht in its bright phases. Arter perMpS tour cycles of briehtening and dimming, the light faded O'lt slovtly and completely. .Captain Brosdal did not alert the passengers, ~r-d apparently no one. in t.ba cabin ot the plane saw it.
