Channel Islands
|
In April, two UK pilots observed a huge UFO over the Channel
Islands, and their observations were corroborated by
witnesses on the planes. One of the pilots described the
object: "It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a
green area. It was 2,000ft up and stationary. At first, I
thought it was the size of a 737. But it must have been much
bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as
much as a mile wide."
Aurigny Airlines pilot Ray Bowyer first reported the object,
and his report was corroborated by a pilot for another
regional air carrier, Blue Airlines. The object was also
seen by two Blue Airlines passengers, Kate and John Russell.
Paul Kelly, 31, the air traffic controller who was on duty,
said that both pilots made similar reports, but that the
object had not been recorded by Channel Islands air traffic
radars because it was stationary, and the radars are
programmed to filter out stationary objects, which are not
expected to appear in the sky.
The observation was cited as a "near miss" and has been
reported in the current issue of the Pilot Magazine, UK,
according to
This
is London.
Strangely, the sighting has also been the object of a
treatment by
thespoof.com, no doubt in an effort to
frighten other pilots into keeping their mouths shut.
