A round silver object was seen moving slowly in the Northwest sky of Orlando, Florida. He suddenly disappeared.
At 4:05 a.m. on November 11, a canadian forces radar facility in Faulconbridge, Ontario, reported radar tracking of an unidentified object approximately 25-30 nautical miles South of this location at an altitude of 25,000 to 72,000 feet. People at the site also saw the object and said it looked like a bright star, but much closer. Two F-106 aircraft from the USAF's 171st fighter-interceptor squadron at Selfridge ANGB, Michigan, were confused, but the pilots reported no contact with the object.
