The first on record account of a fatal encounter with a UFO and a U.S. Army pilot occurred on Jan. 8. 1948 over Franklin, Ky.
It was on this day that 25-year-old National Guard jet fighter pilot Capt. Thomas Mantell Jr.’s plane exploded, instantly killing him, as he was pursuing a “mysterious flaming red cone trailing a gaseous green mist,” seen by thousands, according to an initial article by the Associated Press.

Lieutenant Felix Moncla also died pursuing a UFO near Lake Superior in 1953. His RIO Lt Robert Wilson also died. They were flying an F-89.
Considering the times, if someone said "SOVIET SPY PLANE" there would have been an uproar, if someone says "UFO" the response is "yeah..right...whatever"
