I waited around the bar at Caffarello's for an hour. I'd just about
decided that he wasn't going to make it and that I'd better get back
to catch my flight to Dayton when he and three other pilots came in.
We got a big booth in the coffee shop because he'd called three more
off-duty pilots who lived in Chicago and they were coming over too. I
don't remember any of the men's names because I didn't make any
attempt to. This was just an informal bull session and not an
official interrogation, but I really got the scoop on what airline
pilots think about UFO's.
First of all they didn't pull any punches about what they thought
about the Air Force and its investigation of UFO reports. One of the
men got right down to the point: "If I saw a flying saucer flying
wing-tip formation with me and could see little men waving--even if
my whole load of passengers saw it--I wouldn't report it to the Air
Force."
Another man cut in, "Remember the thing Jack Adams said he saw down
by Memphis?"
