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
official Army Air Force verdict is that Mantell’s aircraft crashed
after he blacked out owing to lack of oxygen while attempting to fly too
high an altitude in what was later described as a high altitude weather
balloon. More...http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case482.htm
