...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....
:10:01
Ask if they want to report officially.
:10:04
TWA 517 , do you want to report a UFO?
Over.

:10:11
TWA 517 , do you want to report a UFO?
Over.

:10:17
Negative. We don't want to report.
:10:20
Air East 31,
do you wish to report a UFO? Over.

:10:25
Negative. We don't want
to report one either.

:10:28
Air East 31, do you wish to file a
report of any kind? Over.

:10:32
I wouldn't know what kind
of report to file, Centre.

:10:35
Air East 31, me neither.
:10:37
I'll try to track traffic
to destination, over.
