"NOTHING REMOTELY RELATED'

Mysterious Object Amazes Saucer Skeptic

A veteran airline pilot who once denounced flying saucers as "bunk" has reported encountering a mysterious unidentified flying object near Mobile, Ala.

Capt. W. J. Hull of Capital Airlines described the incident in a report published by "The UFO Investigator," magazine of the unofficial National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, 1536 Connecticut-av nw.

Capt. Hull wrote an article for a pilots' magazine in 1953 titled "The Obituary of the Flying Saucer." His experience described in the "Investigator" took place Nov. 14, 1956. He did not suggest what he saw was a flying saucer.

Capt. Hull said he was flying a Viscount at about 10,000 feet near Mobile, at 10:10 p. m., when he and his co-pilot spotted what we thought was a brilliant meteor."

He said the "meteor" was descending rapidly, but instead of burning out with the usual flash, "it abruptly halted directly in front of us."

"It was an intense blue-white light, approximately seven or eight times as bright as Venus when this planet is at its brightest magnitude," he wrote.

He said he thought the object might be a jet fighter,

turning away from the airliner and giving the pilots a view of its glowing tailpipe. But he said instead of growing smaller, the light remained in front of the Viscount.

Capt. Hull wrote that the "UFO") (unidentified flying object) then began a series of violent maneuvers, "sharper than any known aircraft, sometimes changing direction

90 degrees in an instant." It finally zoomed up at an extremely sharp angle and shot out of sight, he added.

He said his own plane was above the clouds, "precluding any reflections of search lights from below."
