Location:

Трой, MO

United States

A bright white light traveling at high speed illuminated a small plane flying at an altitude of 13,000 feet between Vichy and Troy, Missouri, and moved along it for three minutes. Then the light moved away with great speed.

The pilot reported that when the light was near his plane, one of his transponders stopped working. After the UFO broke away, the transponder resumed normal operation.

The object was moving along the plane at a distance of 3 to 3.5 miles at a distance of 15 nautical miles and was quite high above the plane. The pilot pressed IDENT and nothing happened. He switched on the second transponder, and nothing happened. Then it took off on a course of 120° -130° and disappeared from sight.

The second transponder worked, but he could never get the first one to work again. The pilot had no problems with the other instruments.

Summary:  A bright white light moving at a high rate of speed came alongside a small aircraft flying at 13,000 feet between Vichy and Troy, Missouri, and paced the airplane for three minutes. The light then moved away at high speed. The pilot reported that while the light was abreast of his aircraft one of his transponders stopped working. After the UFO pulled away the transponder resumed its normal operation. The object paced the aircraft for 3 to 3.5 NM at a distance of 15 nautical miles and was fairly high above the aircraft. The pilot pressed IDENT and nothing happened. He turned on his other transponder and nothing happened. Then it took off on a 120°-130° heading and shot out of my sight. The second transponder recovered, but he could never get the first one to work again. The pilot had no trouble with the other instruments. The pilot did not notify ATC (about) a UFO.
