He got real mad when I asked him about UFOs.

My dad was a USAF "intercept technician" in the 20th AF at the beginning of the Korean War. He told me that more than once he vectored a night/all-weather fighter out to something on the radar and whatever it was shook up the crew once they made visual contact. Dad's take was (as close as I can remember), "I didn't know what the hell was out there, but those guys saw something; when they'd holler about how it was now moving away at an incredible rate of speed, I could actually watch it move like a bat out of hell on the 'scope until it was out of range. Those guys almost all had some WWII experience and didn't rattle easily. When they were debriefed they were always told by somebody up the chain that it was either natural phenomena or was all in their head."
