THAT THESE COULD HAVE BEEN SONIC BOOMS. BUT HE WAS APPARENTLY NOT AWARE OF ANY SOUND PRODUCED BY THE UFO AT ANY TIME DURING THE PERIOD OF HIS OBSERVATIONS.

COMMENTS: THE AIR FORCE OFFICER WHO PROVIDED THE INFO IN TEXT PARAS TWO AND THREE IS A QUALIFIED JET FIGHTER PILOT. HE IS WELL KNOWN TO THE DAO AND OTHERS AS A SERIOUS PROFESSIONAL, NOT GIVEN TO FLIGHTS OF FANCY OR TO ANY DESIRE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO HIMSELF. HE SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN EMBARRASSED (AS WELL AS MYSTIFIED) BY THIS UFO SIGHTING AND PROVIDED THE DETAILS RELUCTANTLY, MAINLY BECAUSE THE AIR FORCE COMMANDER HAD ASKED THE DAO TO HELP IDENTIFY THE OBJECT.
