Narrative
Captain Thomas Mantell, Kentucky Air National Guard, killed pursuing a UAP over Kentucky Jan 7 1948. Initially classified mystery; later resolved by Project Sign/Grudge as classified Skyhook balloon. Mantell's P-51 lacked oxygen above 25K ft - cause of death = hypoxia, not UAP attack. Resolved historically prosaic but operationally tragic.
