Fighter jet UFO incident taken from 'The Chop Clearance List' - a compilation of Air Technical Intelligence UFO reports secured by Albert M. Chop who was Air Force UFO Officer at the Pentagon

Pilots of an F-94 fighter jet and two other fighter aircraft encounter a 'dark, gray object with a very definite oval shape' - .one fighter jet attempts to intercept the UFO at a speed of 0.8 Mach but the pursuit lasts for 4 minutes without the F-94 gaining on the object (chase called off due to low fuel).

9:55 a.m. EST. A  small gray oval-shaped object was seen by 2nd Lt. Fred T. Goetting, pilot of an F-94B fighter jet. Goetting pointed out the object to his Radar Observer, Lt. Howard C. Kelly. The object appeared to be 10 degrees above the F-94B which was at 23,000 feet. Goettering attempted to intercept the object at a speed of 0.8 Mach. This chase continued for 4 minutes without the F-94 gaining on the object. At this time the chase was  broken off because of low fuel. According to the AIR INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION REPORT, the object was also sighted by at least two fighter aircraft from other squadrons.

Bluebook explanation

'Venus'

A nice example of an utterly ludicrous BB explanation.A "dark grey oval", 3/4 the apparent size of a dime at arm's length, which explicitly did not shine or emit or reflect light of any kind, pursued for 4 mins, in bright daylight, on a continuous heading of 70deg.

Conclusion "Venus, at 100deg".

Stunning.
