Correcting some info given before

Comments: I have not had any contact with anyone in our air section since Korea 1953. I had hoped to renew old acquaintences. One item which I have thought of many times over the years was a pilot named Ted(Theodore) Watkins was flying our sector with an observer and had a flying saucer appear beside them and it darted around to the other side. After he landed and told several of us he was told to report to Div HDQTRS to G2 and talk with Major (or Col) John Eisenhower. He never talked about it again that I knew of! I made several attempts to reach him some years ago but was not successful. He was from Arkansas and a graduate from the U of Arkansas as I remember. I would certainly appreciate hearing from anyone else who was privy to that incident! One more item, During the last battle of the war(when the chinese attacked the Cap Rok Division and the the 3rdDiv was required to fill the gap I was asked to fly a intelligence mission with a Col as the observer into and over Chinese territory (approx) 10 miles all of a sudden we were blanketed with antiaircraft fire all around us for some reason we were not shot down and I made it back to a temporary strip (just behind the front lines)I never heard from the officer again or if we fulfilled our mission. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who may have some knowledge of either of these 2 events occuring in my tour of duty.

Keywords: We flew L-19, Dehaviland Beavers, L20(Navions)+ Bell Choppers. During 1953 we flew off of 3 strips the longest A22 near Kum Wa ? Our flying sector was primarily between Poppasan &pork chop hill approximately. As I remember we flew between the 40th & 45th Division pilots. We were also close to a mash unit.
