	can't tell anybody that it took three seconds, we know it didn't take longer than three seconds. If it took a second then it's going to go a lot faster, if it took a second and a half, but we had no way of knowing exactly how long it took, and neither did the crew, I mean the crew, from what I remember—
TT:	What do you recall? I mean, walk through what you remember the crew telling you after.
RC:	Alright. What I remember is that they said that it went from one side to the other side. It wasn't "in the blink of an eye," they didn't put it that way, but it was something like "almost instantaneously." I can't remember the exact words, but you know, they said it was here and then boom it's there [indicating locations with hand]. I think he said, and I can't remember who it was, they saw it over there and all of the sudden it was gone and it was over there.
TT:	Another question: were you ever asked not to discuss the incident?
RC:	Not to my knowledge.
TT:	Yeah.
RC:	It wasn't classified. Well, everything we dealt with was Top Secret, so, you know, my wife at the time had no idea what I did.
TT:	Did you do a complete analysis as far as you were concerned?
RC:	As complete as...
TT:	You satisfied everybody, obviously.
RC:	Right. And basically, the big question was, 'how fast is this puppy going?' Nothing about how big it is, they wanted to know—
TT:	They wanted to know performance.
RC:	Well, how fast it was going and what we felt it was. Hey, it's going over 3000 mi. an hour, it's a UFO guys; there's nothing else that could do it. I don't care what anybody says, there is no other explanation for that [indicating scope photos]. I mean, I don't believe that we have the technology today to do what that—
TT:	We're still building airplanes.
RC:	Yeah.
TT:	And like you said, good credible witness testimony.
