BTIZ

Was in a flight of two P-51's over southern Japan when ground control
asked us if we had enough fuel to intercept an unknown target?

Went 'buster' and established a rate of closure, at about three miles
distance, the target accelerated away from us and went off GCI scope.
We didn't see anything visually.

Geese?
Flying saucer?
?????????????

Came back to cruise power and after RTB debriefed. Was reported up
channels as 'Flying Saucer' even though no visual.

Big John.

Funny.. local ATC calls glider traffic to the inbound airliners.. we (the
gliders) are not talking to ATC.. but they can see our glass (and metal)
birds just fine.. they just don't know our altitude.. LAS TRACON


Radar can be fickle.
