Narrative:
On right base after reporting location, tower advised us of experimental aircraft 5 mi north of navy key west for right base to runway 27. Then tower also advised that we were in sight, #1 for runway 27 and cleared to land. Descending on base experimental aircraft appeared at our 5 O'clock position approximately 20 ft. We descended through his flight path. Later on, a telephone conversation between our first officer (me) and tower supervisor, supervisor said that experimental aircraft failed to report base as directed. No evasive actions were available.

Title: NMAC BTWN AN ACR LTT AND AN EXPERIMENTAL ACFT IN THE ATA ON A BASE LEG.
Narrative: ON R BASE AFTER RPTING LOCATION, TWR ADVISED US OF EXPERIMENTAL ACFT 5 MI N OF NAVY KEY WEST FOR R BASE TO RWY 27. THEN TWR ALSO ADVISED THAT WE WERE IN SIGHT, #1 FOR RWY 27 AND CLRED TO LAND. DSNDING ON BASE EXPERIMENTAL ACFT APPEARED AT OUR 5 O'CLOCK POS APPROX 20 FT. WE DSNDED THROUGH HIS FLT PATH. LATER ON, A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION BTWN OUR FO (ME) AND TWR SUPVR, SUPVR SAID THAT EXPERIMENTAL ACFT FAILED TO RPT BASE AS DIRECTED. NO EVASIVE ACTIONS WERE AVAILABLE.
