On Sunday, August 10, Norio and I launched at 1500 hours PST and made a total recovery in Alamo by 23:30 hours PST. On Monday approximately at 08:00 hours we observed an F-15 which flew over Alamo ingressing to the combat range area. While en route on ET highway 375 to the Little Ale’Inn we saw 2 F-15e’s egressing rather hastily to the north and doing low altitude terrain masking flying and once we arrived at about 10:00 hours PST at the Little A-le-Inn in Rachel, we were met by Hank from Phoenix. Also we chatted with Pat Travis and she told us how Joe Travis was doing with his medical condition. We had a chat with Hank and he had some good stories to tell and few good laughs as well. While we were assessing when to go up to the Coyote Summit, Chuck Clark showed up and showed us some new satellite photos of the base. Chuck also told us that the good time to go up to the Coyote Summit would be about 5pm, based on observations from the previous days of Flag OPS. In the meantime we headed to the Back Gate (the North Gate) to greet the cammo-dudes. Then we had dinner about 4 pm at the inn and proceeded up to the Coyote Summit and met up with F150 from Fresno and enjoyed the spectacular show by the Red Flag participants.

After we had finished with Flag and had dinner (a take-out dinner that F-150 kindly provided with us), we headed back to the A-le-Inn. We then scheduled to meet up with F-150 next to mail box and do a little UFO watching. We talked about Bob Lazar and a few other UFO-related topics. (Of course I had to peep in with some German flying saucer thesis!)
