5:05 p.m. EDST. John Mark ,an experienced private pilot
flying a Navion light plane at 6,200 feet altitude, observed one silver
or aluminum round object with a flat bottom, raised front edge,
inverted cone on top, and a diameter of about 40 feet, at 12,000 to
15,000 feet. The object flew horizontally at approximately 2000 mph,
hovered, made a high-G pull up and then a steep climb into an overcast.
Radar at Dayton, Ohio airport, tracked a very fast target (1980 mph) at
same location. The observation lasted approximately 3-5 minutes. (Don
