On the April I took off from Dobbins Air Force Base,

was flying an instrument flight rules clearance via high altitude
jet airways to Key West Naval Air Station at an assigned altitude
of 29,000 feet. My route took me across Alma (Georgia), Jacksonville
(Florida), Daytona Beach (Florida), Vero Beach (Florida), Palm
Beach (Florida), Miami and Key West. On takeofr from Atlanta
we passed through a broken layer of strato cumilus breaking out
on top at about 9,000 feet. As ve approached Jacksonville all

West from Robbins Air Force Pase, Georgia. He was flying at 29,000
feet when he into clear air turbulence. He, too was puzzled for
the moment because he knew the vind shear at the altitude was not
sufficient to cause turbulence and there was no jet stream. On looking
around for a possible explanation, he noticed a large muck fire burning
in the Everglades. Due to surface winds being opposite that of high
altitude vinds (normal in cold pre-frontal condition) this heated
air vas lifted by convection action vestward umtil it came under the
influencs of the prevailing high altitude vesterlies These vinds
moved the relatively w.rm air into night he jet, thereby
causing turbulence. Shortly after this, jet bamber was serambled
from Patrick Tr Force Base to intercept ported "flying saucer."
The B-57 pilot ectored toward the and when within 50
miles of target he could see the "bobbing, oscillating, bright,

and identified it as a civil jet airkiner inbound to Mi.ami International

Now, for the "glowing, circular objeets." We "scrambled" a
B-57 jet bomber (light) after one of the lights when we acquired an
object on our radar at the Air Force Misaile Test Center (Cape
Canaveral). This object on the radar coincided with visual reports
of a UFO seen from the ground. The B-57 Imade visual contact with the
object at 25,000 feet, fifty miles distant. As he approached closer
to the "object" the pilot was abls to see "glowing, circular light"
(there vere many other descriptions) through binoculars. It was 8

a rotating bescon of the whito type with strobe intensity. The further

my course out the West. I immediately began to Look ground. I saw
a vast muck fire in the Everglades. The surface vind was 180 degrees
opposite the high altitude vinds. So the relatively heated patch or

in the relatively cool surrounding air, it ran into the cooler high
