UFO Chased by USAF , Pilot Dies

In 1948 Captain Mantel of the USAF was ordered to pursue
a UFO. He climbed to 21,000 and was closing on the craft, he reported
he told the control tower that the craft was metallic and huge.

There were the last words spoken by Captain Mantel.
His plane wreck was found a few hours later, with his body still in the cockpit.

All traces of the wreckage were hoovered up and classified.

The USAF official story line was that he was chasing the planet Venus.

It was broad daylight and why would the air force control tower send a plane to scramble
for what they said turned out to be the planet Venus.

For sure this was not the planet Venus.

Debunk if you can and add more details if you can also.

Hi Rigel4,

You may be interested in the fairly lengthy thread about the Mantell incident at the link below:

All the best,

If the USAF control tower told a pilot to go chase Venus, that resulted in the pilots death...Everyone in that control tower should have to wear a dunce cap for the rest of their careers.

If I remember correctly, U.S. pilots were ordered to shoot down UFOs but they lost so many that the order was rescinded. Think it's mentioned in the Riddle Of The Skies documentary by an investigator.

Thanks for the link , I am going to read it now.
A very Interesting case don't you think.

Great find. This is a story I'd never heard before.

A highly trained, veteran fighter pilot engaged the planet Venus in an extended action? Then he pulled some sort of dumb-#ss maneuver that caused him to crash and die?

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, that was my home B.S.-o-meter and it just blew up!

Hi
Like you i had never heard of this Incident before either, so sorry to people that have read it on ATS
before.

The BS meter has indeed gone boom here. This one of the most believable UFO reports ever in my
opinion.
