2)... was the contact 'red' or 'grey'? if red,it happens alot,keep an eye on it as you attempt to close,if it appears not to be moving,forget it.it's not there. grey ones are radar contacts,and usually will be moving.
Just to add a little bit to Montana's explanation. A red one not moving, is actually moving, so if you are 20 miles away and head toward it, assuming you are surfaced and moving at a good speed, it will take you an hour at least to get there. The red is a report where he is at the time of the report, so basically where he WAS. So if you plot a course in front of his direction of travel, you may be able to intercept.

And you can also get grey ones if you are surfaced with bad whether and fog and it will turn red when he gets close enough to identify by sight. So you need to be careful about shooting grey ones, depending where you are, they may not be the enemy. It is UFO. (Unidentified Floating Object)
