The "Lights" Over Phoenix

 

 

was a UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997.
Lights of varying descriptions were reported by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, 
in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson.

Just got back into it.

 

The MiG-21MF cockpit is magnificent. 

 

I had some great success with the MiG. I downed 6 F-4s, 2 A-4s and 3 Lightnings for 2 losses. Once you get into the groove then you are quite deadly. The trick is getting home once you cause a ruckus. Fuel becomes a problem as you try to dodge incoming missiles.

The Atlantique Shoot Down

On 10 Aug 99 at 10:51 hrs IST an Indian AF ground radar picked up an aircraft track inside Sindh region of Pakistan near Badin, approaching the Indo-Pakistan international border (IB) on a South-Easterly course. The track was moving at a speed of 370 kmph maintaining a height of 3000-3500 feet. It first touched the international border (at point 68 degree 48 min E, 24 degrees 18 min North) at 10:54 hrs. For the next 17-18 minutes it carried out a series of manoueveres over this area. (In this process, the track stayed within or close to 10 km of the boundary.

 

Two MiG-21bis Interceptors, callsigns Delta One & Delta Two, of No.45 "Flying Daggers" Squadron, which were on operational readiness at  Air Force Station Naliya in Kutch, were brought to a higher state of scramble alert as the track approached the International Border. When the track crossed the international border the first time at approximately 10:57 hrs, both the interceptors were scrambled, getting airborne at 10:59 hrs.

Both interceptors visually sighted the intruder and identified it as an Atlantique of the Pakistani Navy. Delta One closed in to 300 meters of the Atlantique,  intending to formate on him and signal him visually and, if possible, communicate with him on radio to direct him to land at the nearest IAF base.
 
By now, of course, both interceptors had not only identified the intruder as an Atlantique but visually seen its identification markings. As Delta One was jockeying into position, the Atlantique turned into him in an aggressive evasive attempt. This was a hostile act. As per international norms he ought to have maintained his course and height and in fact lowered his under-carriage as a sign of submission as per the Rules of Engagement.

The Atlantique had earlier been declared hostile after it had been identified, as the Atlantique falls into the category of "hostile" as per established procedure. A hostile aircraft does not have the option to return home; he has only two options - follow instructions to forceland at an IAF base, or be shot down. When the intruder turned into Delta One in an obvious attempt to throw him off and make a dash for the border, on clearance from the fighter controller, Delta One maneuvered his fighter for a missile launch on the PN Atlantique to prevent him escaping. The Atlantique was engaged at 11.17 Indian Standard Time (GMT +5.30) by a Vympel R-60 (NATO reporting name ‘AA-8 Aphid’) infra-red guided air-to-air missile.

The missile hit the Atlantique’s port engine making the aircraft loose control and hit marsh land in the Great Rann of Kutch. The MiG-21 interceptors were immediately ordered to break away to the right to ensure that they stayed within Indian territory. The Atlantique after being shot continued to be seen on IAF ground radars. It entered a loose descending spiral turn to the left, burning fiercely with wreckage falling off; in the process, it described an arc 5 km within Pakistani territory before facing an approximately south-easternly direction again close to the IB before it disappeared from the IAF ground radar screen.
