On December 18, 2013, at 3:00 p.m., a Super Hornet pilot of strike fighter squadron VFA-143 encountered a white object both visually and on radar in the W-72 warning area off the US East Coast, one of the Navy pilot reports published by The War Zone in 2020.
Background
At 3:00 p.m., another Super Hornet pilot from VFA-143 encountered a white object visually and on radar in the W-72 warning zone off the US East Coast. The wording 'another Super Hornet pilot' refers to an earlier VFA-143 report listed in Eberhart's chronology. The case is among the Navy pilot reports on encounters with unidentified aircraft off the East Coast obtained and published by Tyler Rogoway and Joseph Trevithick in The War Zone on May 12, 2020. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
