F-16s Pursue Unknown Craft Over Region
(old news - 11:42AM Monday Jul 29 2002)

The Washington Post reports the following story:

"For Renny Rogers, it was strange enough that military jets were flying low over his home in Waldorf in the middle of the night. It was what he thinks he saw when he headed outside to look early yesterday that floored him.

"It was this object, this light-blue object, traveling at a phenomenal rate of speed," Rogers said. "This Air Force jet was right behind it, chasing it, but the object was just leaving him in the dust. I told my neighbor, 'I think those jets are chasing a UFO.' "

Military officials confirm that two F-16 jets from Andrews Air Force Base were scrambled early yesterday after radar detected an unknown aircraft in area airspace. But they scoff at the idea that the jets were chasing a strange and speedy, blue unidentified flying object.

I'm a little concerned that an unknown aircraft can elude 2 F16's. If they "scoff" at the UFO scenario it means that the aircraft is of terrestrial origin. This has serious security ramifications.

Re: F16 jets pursue unknown aircraft

"traveling at a phenomenal rate of speed," ...compared to F16's I'm wondering what that could be..

A BlackBird SR-71 is fast compared to an F16 but not on the altitude I assume this object was flying on..

Besides, then there would have been a response to NORAD

Exciting....especially since the Washington Post isn't the first to come with news like this ..(!)

UFO = unidenified flying object, that dont mean its a flying dish from the planet zargone, just means they dont know what it is. now I can see us having a problem when the UFO hits speeds obove mach 4 then........there is something out there. ... speaking of the blackbird, I saw 2 of 5 fly over my house about 5 days ago with full AB on. it was quite loud and a cool site.
