TACTICS: The object moved straight along over the highway, flying just fast enough to stay ahead of the police car chasing it; after about 25 minutes it slowed down, allowed the car to catch up and hovered for awhile above the car; then it was off again, ahead of the car; when it moved too far ahead, it hovered and appeared to wait for the car to catch up with it once more. COMMENT: Several other persons, including three police officers, also sighted the UFO enroute and tried to chase it but gave up early. Ohio State Patrolmen chased it for a short while, as well. The Air Force Troop Carrier Wing and Air Defense unit at the Greater Pittsburgh Airport had no knowledge of the UFO, since it had not shown on the military or civilian radarscopes. However, Deputy Sheriff Robert Wilson, who was in radio communication with the two deputies chasing the object into Pennsylvania, claimed that seven jet aircraft (presumably Air Defense Command aircraft) had been "scrambled" from Cleveland to investigate the UFO.
