Let's see what the Usual Suspects are up to *today*
2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)
(from internet transcript)
We all saw it. We read the data.
We know its there.
Red Storm Rising (1986) - by Tom Clancy, author
excerpt, Chapter 17 – The Frisbees of Dreamland
The Mainstay would not have a chance. The Frisbee would not begin to climb until she was directly underneath the target. Fourteen miles. Twelve. Ten. Eight. Six miles to the converted air transport.
"The Mainstay just reversed her turn - yeah, she's jinking. A Foxfire just swept over us," Eisly said evenly. A MiG-25 interceptor, presumably acting on instructions from the IL-76, was now searching for them. With its high power and small arc, the Foxfire stood a good chance of acquiring them, Stealth technology or not. "The Mainstay might have us."
"Anything locked on us?"
"Not yet."
