A large white light travelling slow and then at a great speed from low to great height in seconds no sound
It was after dark we were wating for our C-97 to pick us up. We saw what we thought was the front nose lading light coming down the runway we wondered why the pilot did not turn on wing lights! Their was no sound and the light went vertical and went high enough to look like a shooting star it crossed the sky north and south at a great speed stoping and changidg direction instantly Finaly it turned east and disapeared out over the ocan ! We notified the officer of the day and he came out to the ramp and watched with us the radar station could not track the object! At this time pine castle AFB was part of the down range project! This is my first time telling this to any one I was in the air force a air craft machanic on the c-97 and kc-97 tanker I do not rember the exact date ! it should be inthe ariforce records at pine castle
