So I'm flying my route tonight. I was IMC most of the trip. I was at 6,000 and tops were reported at 10,000. I'm on a 220 heading.
Ok this is where it gets interesting. Center calls traffic 12 oclock se altitude opposite direction. Unverified! I reply "curently IMC, and he must be too!". Center calls me to start a right turn to 360 and go down to 5,000. I do just that. Center is still calling the traffic until I clear them. I told center that the other aircraft must of been IMC. Center says that's what we were afraid of. I switch freqs and nothing else happens.
Now really far be it from me to rat on another pilot but this way straight up dumb! Wrong altitude for the heading and the guy is IMC not on a flight plan or talking to center. Question for you controlers. Do you track the idiot? Is there any way for you to find out who that was?
