The United States air force pilot Lieutenant Robert Arnold flying on the training aircraft T-28 at 6,000 ft saw a bright bluish-white glowing object beneath him, quickly rising to his level, and not showing navigation lights.
Arnold made a left turn to keep the object in view, object suddenly climbed to 9,000 ft for a few seconds, and then returned to the same altitude, heading South-East from air base, where he stopped and hovered.
Arnold continued movement in the direction of the South-East, but after 2 secs object suddenly headed towards him on collision course at high speed, slightly hesitate at a distance of about 300 ft as if determining which side will be the plane. He then flew past the left wing of the Arnold at a distance of 150 feet. At this moment pilot could see an object similar to a blurred reddish-bluish mist less than his T-28.
