The CIA Unveils an ‘X-Files’ Dump of UFO Documents and Photos

One night about 20 years ago I went out for a dog walk with a neighbor, who happened to be a veteran pilot for United Airlines. We got to talking about UFOs for some reason–maybe it was the brilliant night sky, maybe one of those periodic reports about government “cover-ups” of alien visitors. And he, a very serious guy, told me he had seen something he could not explain during one of his regular flights from Chicago to Honolulu. 

“Three orange...somethings,” I remember him saying.  They hovered about a mile off his starboard bow, as in a combat flight formation, and then made a series of abrupt, perpendicular turns before returning to their cruising spots. He radioed ground control about the strange objects, he told me. The response came back that no other aircraft were showing on the radar.  Eventually, he said, the unidentified flying objects zipped away at hypersonic speed. 

The pilot was clearly troubled about the incident, and not by just what he saw. He said other pilots had quietly shared their own, similar UFO experiences with him and what happened to others who made official reports: They were grounded as mentally unfit to fly. He decided to keep his mouth shut. We walked on in silence.
