Probed ingest of: Air Force Test Pilot Saw a Silent Triangular Craft Over an English Golf Course | Dan Isbell Part I

Dan Isbell reports that around 10 p.m. on December 26, 1980, he encountered a silent triangular object above a golf course while driving home from RAF Upper Heyford, estimating its length at fifty to sixty feet and his closest distance at about 150 feet.

He says they drew abreast and stopped abruptly above a golf course. He pulled across to the roadside nearest the object, initially watched through the car, lowered the window to listen, and then stepped outside.

Isbell says the object descended as he approached, and that he drove away before seeing it land because he feared both possible physical harm and damage to his flying career.

His curiosity briefly included imagining what it might be like to fly such a machine. He then reconsidered both possible physical danger and professional consequences. He says he returned to the Corvette and drove home before seeing any landing.

Isbell describes a changing luminous field around the object's underside and perimeter, with no visible occupants, recognizable propulsion noise, or observed illumination of the surroundings.

Asked by Graves whether these were individual lamps, he instead likens them to a shifting field, plasma, or auroral light. He later recalls purple, red, yellow, and occasional green.

Isbell says fear of losing his flying career and security clearances kept him from publicly reporting his UAP experience for decades, including during later consulting work.

Isbell answers that stigma and clearance concerns persisted into his consulting years. Graves places his first ASA contact in May 2023, tentatively recalling May 27, before the July congressional hearing.

Isbell says Graves helped arrange a private FBI interview and that officials later requested permission to release his account under a presidential disclosure initiative; he says he authorized identification.
