As a point of intrest, Deke Slayton had a spectacular UFO sighting back in the 50's or 60's. He was interviewed on an HBO special entitled "UFO's, what's going on ?" in the mid-80's. He stated that he thought at first the object appeared to be a weather ballon, until he got closer & realized that the object was metallic & looked like a saucer on its edge. He banked to take another pass at the thing & it began to fly away rapidly, he then stated that he tried to give chase, but with an old piston fighter he was totally outclassed. He also wished he had some gun camera film loaded, because he would have had some great shots of it. Just thought you folks might find this bit interesting, Aim High Deke......off you go, into the wild blue yonder....see ya on the other side..........
