10 a.m. Several Los Alamos Scientific Lab and other witnesses saw
white object moving E to W, about 1.8°/sec angular velocity, with
gyrating or fluttering motion. Two jet interceptors from Kirtland AFB
arrived about 5 mins later chasing object W to E, all 3 leaving
contrails. At 10:57 a.m. light-brown eggshaped object with wings
was sighted hovering then shot off to the NW disappearing in 3 secs. 30
secs. (Hynek UFO Rpt pp. 61-64)
This page speaks of jets being directed towards the
object.
"With the aid of our Communications Section and aircraft controller,
who were in contact with the jets, I was able to direct the jets in the
approximate direction of the object. When a vapor trail
appeared to be within approximately eight miles, the object disappeared
from my sight."
