Over the Pacific Ocean.

There was a fighter on a sentry mission in a controlled airspace in a certain southern hemisphere country.

Stable weather.

The sky as usual. Familiar sea and islands.

Skilled pilots were unplugged, but well on assignment.

It's an unexpected job, but I like this landscape more than anything else. But I'm old enough to be a plane rider myself. It's something I grew up with, and it's probably a good idea when I offer to my superior officer to take up the Lu (Ooka) assignment. What, if you want to fly in the sky, you can buy your own Cessna on the coast of your hometown and fly.

The unique flowing sky of this fighter… it's hard to throw away the feeling of poking clouds, but the relaxed sky is also good.

When pilots think about that in front of familiar landscapes...

There was one shadow on the radar.

That shadow on the edge of the radar approached us while we saw it...... coming towards the FS-32 fighters we fly at unusual speeds.

If we stay like this, we encounter it in less than a few dozen seconds.

"'This is Hawk One. Report to the control room immediately!

"This is the control room. What's up, Hawk One?"

"'I don't know what it is, but a very small object approaches from the rear at an unusual rate. Keep it up and you'll be on a course of engagement. Give me directions.' '

"What? Something like that, nothing on this radar... no, there was a reaction... what is this!? Such speed... cruising missiles!? No, not even missiles so fast..."

"'This is Hawk One! Do you want me to shoot you down? Instructions!' '

"Wait, I can't grasp the situation. We can't allow the shooting down... wait for instructions."

"'Enemy in five seconds! He's already in the rear! Quickly give instructions!! Avoid it if not!!

And... the pilot went into evasive action... seconds later.

The pilot saw.

My own flying FS-32...... currently a shadow (...) that trails through the sharpest fighters that can give the highest speed in the world, probably a few times faster (...).

And the shadow... hits through some of the current accumulated clouds... and gets out of sight at a rate I've never seen before.

To that distant sight, he forgets me for a while.

That's how a dozen seconds pass...... the pilot finally remembers his job.

"'... from Hawk One to Command Room'"

"This is the control room. I made sure the plane shadow was passing by. Any abnormalities? Let me know what's going on."

To the instructions of the commander of the control room, the pilot continues to rely on the remnants in sight.

"'... people... no, things like people...'"

"People? What's wrong with people?

"'People have flown in. That's probably a human being.

"What is that...!? Are you a high level psychic?!? Did you see him?

"'No... too soon...'"

"Whatever, I want as much information as I can remember"

"'Something... a big man like Orangutan had an Asian boy... and that was flying fast... really, it was a joke (joke) sight'"

"...... Big man like orangutan...... no way......!?

The person in charge of the control room thinks for a moment...

"This matter shall be kept confidential (...). Confidential level 10. I forbid anything you see or hear here today. Everyone here...... if you don't want to be court-martialed, forget everything that's happening right now. You got it? Hawk One."

"'……………… Copy. I'm going back to my normal sentinel course' '

So the pilot tells himself that what he just saw was "a dream"......

The latest fighters swirled and disappeared into the sky with their returning carriers.
