What Does this Mean?

I have one of my uncle's logbooks, and in it is the following note: Myo zwingt zur Rueckkehr. Does anyone have any idea what 'Myo' is?

MYO was a warning meaning hostile aircraft over base, as far as i know.

A former pilot told me it was an abbreviation for "Maschinen Über Ort" (Y being substituted for an umlauted U in radio traffic, so he said) = aircraft over location.
