Synopsis: Many stories have been written about the untimely death of Captain
Thomas Mantell whose USAF P-51 Mustang aircraft crashed on the 7th.
January 1948, shortly after having observed a UFO seen hovering in the
air close to the US Army Air Force Base at Godman Field, Kentucky. The

high an altitude in what was later described as a high altitude weather
balloon. More...http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case482.htm
