Pilot Debrief: 20:30 EST 24 May 2011, A233 Main Arena. Just completed bombing run in Republic P47D-40, dropping full ordinance package and sinking an enemy cruiser west of the airbase - no damage taken. Upon egress and climb out, heading approximately due east, an unusually bright circular object was sighted on my high 12, range unknown. Applying full military power and starting a climb to intercept the unknown object, it was noted to be 3 dimensional as that it grew in size and detail in my windscreen view. After about 30 seconds, details of the object came into view - it was bright white and circular with the outer fringes appearing somewhat blurry. The object had an interior perimeter that was well defined and bright red. It was obvious that I was closing my distance to the unknown object and at a range I estimated to be about 1000 feet, I fired a burst of 50 cal from my eight guns - no obvious effect. At that time the object blinked in and out of view completely one time and then disappeared. One of my squaddies on the ground at A233 during this event later confirmed the sighting to me.
Upon landing, I saved my film of the sortie and proceeded to my desktop to view the object on the gun cameras. Even though I have 124 successfully saved films, this one did not save successfully and had 0KB volume.
As an addendum, after the sortie (and I am sure? is a coincidence) my hard drive is now giving me bad sector messages and acting up.

(I hope this report doesn't affect my flight status- :lol)
Just as an afterthought and if anyone wants to explore a perspective of the potential of cyberspace manipulation - read the book "Daemon" for a interesting view of the possibilities of MMOG and the global domination of society :D

had the same thing happen but i hit it and i went to the tower message says :_______ collied with you (no name just blank white )

You know its weird I had that happen in a tank last night, upped a base that was flashing however there was nobody around (in a wirbel of course).
The base was way to far to have someone bailed out over it, and I doubt any buff pilots are going to bomb a V-base in middle of no where.
Anyway sitting on the pad, I blew up and message said "you have been killed." Wanted to save the film, I record every flight, however it didn't give me an option.
Just weird I guess.
