On October 15, 2004, the leader of a Mirage 4 patrol was alerted by one of his teammates, who reported being "followed" by an aircraft within 5 hours. The leader also acquired visual contact with the point, which disappeared after 15 to 20 seconds. The leader concluded it was the passage of a fighter-type aircraft, but no trace was detected by ground controllers. The event remains unexplained.
