: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...
:09:01
...five miles, over.
:09:03
Affirmative, 31.
:09:05
The traffic is proceeding northeast.
No altitude readout.
:09:08
Roger, Centre. It doesn't appear
he'll be a problem.
:09:11
He's going to descend
about 1500 feet below me.
:09:15
Wait a second!
:09:17
Stand by, one.
:09:19
Okay, Centre, Air East 31.
The traffic has turned.
:09:21
He's heading for my windshield.
We're turning immediately.
:09:27
Descend and maintain flight level 310.
:09:29
Break Allegheny,
turn right 30 degrees.
:09:31
Get on the horn to the 45th Recon Wing
and see what they're testing up there.
:09:36
Do you have test operations
in restricted area 2508?
:09:39
Air East 31, roger.
:09:41
The traffic is luminous and
exhibiting non-ballistic motion.
:09:45
Roger. Continue descent
at your discretion.
:09:48
Okay, Centre. Descent
at pilot's discretion is approved.
:09:51
The traffic is approaching head-on,
ultra-bright and really moving.
:09:55
And right by us! Right now!
Now that was really close.
:09:58
Air East 31 is out of 340....
