SAC (Lt Col Giordano) reports than an unidentified

hovered over the Weapons Storage Area and then
moved on.
RAPCON had it painted for a short period. A
tanker at 2700 feet
had visual and skin pain out over Lake Huron
for about 20 miles
heading SE. Tanker reports he thinks he saw
a second skin paint.
The tanker lost all contact about 35 miles SE
of the base over
the lake. Tanker is still flying trying to locate
by means of
telephonic search with FAA and RAPCON. Increased
security
initiated at Wurtsmith.
31/0030E Update: Lt Col Giordana (SAC Senior
Controller) updates
and corrects the above information as follows:
An unidentified
low flying aircraft came up over the back gate
of Wurtsmith and
was visually sighted in the vicinity of the motor
pool. RAPCON
showed several aircraft at the time, one near
the WSA (there was
no hovering as previously reported). A tanker
was dispatched and
had visual and skin paint out over Lake Huron
of a low flying
aircraft (with lights on) heading SE at approximately
150 knots.
Tanker reports that the aircraft appeared to
be joined by another
aircraft (with its lights on also). Tanker reports
that both
aircraft then turned out their lights simultaneously,
as if on
signal. Tanker lost all contact approximately
35 NM SE of the
base. Upon information that the Dept of Natural
Resources sends
out aircraft searching for hunters spotting dear,
the Dept of
Natural Resources was contacted; however, they
maintain none of
their aircraft were in the area at the time.
