Interesting but several years before this incident my father a fighter pilot serving in Korea had an encounter with “UFO” over Korea, unknown type craft, same incredible speed (nothing known in technology at the time) when it disappeared...

My dad was an intercept technician with an air control squadron on Okinawa when the Korean War broke out, and he has told me that more than once they would vector a fighter out to a target, then said target would suddenly move off like a bat out of hell. When visual contact was made by the a/c, the pilots were shocked (at the very least).

It was what it was, whatever it was... the point being that it was happening with enough regularity in the early 1950's to make some people at Kadena and Naha wonder what was going on.
