Neil Daniels

Neil Daniels served as a United Airlines captain with an extensive aviation career, accumulating over 30,000 flight hours and receiving the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross for distinguished service. In 1977, he experienced an uncommanded autopilot turn and compass failure aboard a DC-10 caused by a brilliant luminous UAP encountered near Boston, though he did not file an official report immediately. Seven months later, when he informed his employer about the incident, Daniels faced warnings of career repercussions.
