At 10:20 p.m. local time, Captain Hugh Slater and Captain
Darwin R. Addiz saw an object in the sky directly east of
Fursten-Feldbruck at an
unknown altitude. It looked like a reddish star and was moving in a
southerly direction
across Munich. The object then turned slightly to the SW and then to
the SE. The speed
of the object was estimated at 200 to 500 mph. Capt. Slater then
called
Base Operations and they notified Racecard DF Station (radar). The DF
Station
reported an unidentified object at 27,000 feet some 30 miles south of
Munich. Later Racecard Station called Capt. Slater to report
that the object was climbing and was then believed
to be at 40,000 feet at 40 miles south of Munich and was circling. Both
Captain Hugh
Slater and Captain Darwin R. Addiz were F-80 jet pilots and
considered as
completely reliable observers and reporters. (FOIA/Dan
