Ernie, keep an eye on that point-out.
:07:37
He's on 122.5.
:07:39
I'll be right back.
:07:42
Indianapolis Centre, you have any
traffic for Air East 31?

:07:47
Air East 31, negative.
:07:49
The only traffic I have is
a TWA L-1011 in your 6:00 position...

:07:54
...range 15 miles...
:07:56
...and an Allegheny DC-9 in your 12:00
position, 50 miles.

:08:00
Stand by. I'll take a look at
broadband, over.

:08:04
Air East 31 has traffic 2.00,
slightly above and descending.

:08:07
Air East 31, roger.
:08:09
I have a primary target
about that position now.

:08:12
I have no known traffic.
:08:14
Stand by, I'll check low, over.
:08:17
Check and see if they know who it is.
:08:19
Centre, Air East 31.
:08:20
The traffic's not lower than us.
:08:23
He's 1.00 now,
still above me and descending.

:08:27
Air East 31,
can you say aircraft type?

:08:30
Negative, Centre, no distinct outline.
:08:35
To tell you the truth,
the target is rather brilliant.

:08:38
It has the brightest anti-collision
lights I think I've ever seen.

:08:42
Alternating white to red.
:08:44
The colours are striking.
:08:46
Centre, this is TW A 517.
:08:49
Traffic now looks like
extra-bright landing lights.

:08:53
I thought Air East
had his landing lights on.

:08:57
It could be a satellite.
:08:59
I have a primary target now
in your 10:00 position...
