UFO seen by high-ranking official in flight

Summary

A high-ranking government official, flying in a B-25 with two Air Force officers, sighted an illuminated object performing unusual maneuvers. Observed from the air, the object could hover, accelerate rapidly, and change direction erratically. It had two blinking red lights on top and a strong spotlight on the lower part. The witness, a pilot and senior liaison, described it as metallic and dirigible-like. Despite detailed observations, no clear conclusion was reached. The Air Force marked it as "unknown," not ruling out aircraft or astronomical explanations.
