UFOs and the Oppositiqrof Mars /
Venus is not the only heavenly body to simulate a flying saucer.
Jupiter and even Mercury, the smallest of the planets, have inspired
their share of UFOs. Mars, which can also be very bright, has fre-
. quently been reported as a spaceship.
On June 21, 1952, an F-47 aircraft was on routine patrol over the
Atomic Energy Commission installation at Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
when at Jo:58 p.M. a spotter from the Ground Observer Corps in-
formed the pilot that a slow-moving craft was moving in the area
at very high altitude. At about the same time the pilot observed a at very high altitude. At about the same time the pilot observed a
blinking white light, of no delinite shape and with no exhaust or blinking white light, of no definite shape and with no exhaust or
trail, apparently making passes at him. For the next eighteen min-

meet the pass, the would pull up some 400o to 5o0o feet
above the plane and the move in again. When the plane reached
22,000 feet, the UFO make a final dive from 28,o00
feet, pulled back up to its previous altitude, and then disappeared. -
The pilot's reaction is indicated by his answer to one of the routine
questions on the Air Force report form: "Did you stop at any time
during the sighting?" His reply read: "Ha Ha!"
Investigating  e incident, officials from ATIC at first suspected Investigating h e incident, officials from ATIC at first suspected

convert the "yrtsable" into a "positive" identification because they convert the "prtable" into a "positive" identification because they
lacked one essenta! fact: the bearing of the aircraft [1].
