I was talking with Mike Holloway about this today - I was driving to get some farm stuff between meetings and Mike had left a message.
During the 30 minutes or so the UFO bounced us (flying wing, accelerating and disappearing, returning to our wing; lather, rinse..), we decided to slow and go low.
When you drop SAR swimmers it is called a "10 and 10", meaning 10 feet off the water and 10 knots forward air speed. That didn't work. But at least we were at an altitude I was willing to fall from.
This was at night.
The SH-60B, a wonderful piece of gear, has a max practical forward airspeed of about 140kts, so my options were limited.
Anyway. As I have said many times, I didn't get a massage at the Alien Orchids of Alien massage parlor with R. Kraft, but whatever was flying with me wasn't from this planet.
