USN pilot Lieutenant JG Robert Haven flying AD-4Q at 3,500 feet heading west saw a steady white 10-12 inch light to his right at about 4,000 feet five miles away heading southeast, made a slight climbing turn to the left to get on the tail of the object but it responded by making a head-on pass about 100-200 feet over the AD-4Q in a slight dive at high speed. Haven made a tight turn to pursue, noted no wash or slipstream from the object traveling at about 900 mph, which made five to six head-on passes at the AD-4Q, climb rate >2,000 feet/min, chase abandoned at 11,500 feet, as object outmaneuvered aircraft.
