~p 157 I knew that in the past there was a U.S. military fighter called the mustang that had flown up high for a confirmation and a tragedy had happened to it. Even the F-15 with the newest technology had no guarantee of safety against the creature with an unknown degree of scientific technology. We flew toward Talkeetna at an altitude of 3,100 feet. The spaceship was still following us, not leaving us at all. About the same time a United Airline passenger aircraft which left Anchorage to Fairbanks flew into the same air zone and began communicating with the Anchorage Center. We heard them transmitting that there was an object near JL 1628 and requesting for confirmation. . We heard that the Anchorage Center was saying to the United Airline aircraft that JL 1628 was at an altitude of 3,100 feet, therefore, United Airline should maintain an altitude of 3,300 feet. It sounded as if Anchorage Center had the United Airline aircraft fly above the spaceship. We were flying the East side of Mt. McKinley. The United Airline aircraft came close to us. The United Airline aircraft requested us to flash landing lights for visual confirmation and we both confirmed our positions visually. The United Airline aircraft was coming close to us. We knew that they were watching us. When the United plane came by our side, the spaceship disappeared suddenly and there was nothing but the light of moon.
