Mile-wide UFO spotted by British airline pilot

One of the largest UFOs ever seen has been observed by the crew and passengers of an airliner over the Channel Islands on April 23, 2007.

An official air-miss report on the incident several weeks ago appears in Pilot magazine.
Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, flying close to Alderney first spotted the object, described as "a cigar-shaped brilliant white light".

As the plane got closer the captain viewed it through binoculars and said: "It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area.
"It was 2,000ft up and stationary. I thought it was about 10 miles away, although I later realised it was approximately 40 miles from us. At first, I thought it was the size of a [Boeing] 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."
Continuing his approach to Guernsey, Bowyer then spied a "second identical object further to the west".
He said: "It was exactly the same but looked smaller because it was further away. It was closer to Guernsey. I can't explain it. This was clearly visual for about nine minutes.

He is an experienced pilot. I am pretty sure he wasn't seeing things.

love these Debunker groups,just can't be true skeptics,knowing they had ground-air/air-air radar,radar determine it real with multiple hits, passenger reports of the UFO but the Debunker brail reading groups can not bring themselves to a open eyed perspective,it is truly sad to know that the pilots credentials have the value of a bubble gum rapper to these folks,the fact is Disclosure will happen and the inevitability pisses them off, they'd back him if he said it was swamp gas

IT WAS PROBABLY A UTD - UNIDENTIFIED TAX DODGER GIVEN IT WAS FLYING IN THE VICINITY OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS!

I know we are not alone, to think that is pretty stupid...but I don't fear them...they have always been here, what I fear is only my fellow man, they lie and manipulate us..we are probably the only life forms that practice the art of deceit..we probably fascinate them with our stupidity, when they contact us I'll have to say "take me away cause I am far too ashamed to be human"

Let's say, for argumentative purposes, that there are UFO's and aliens. They obviously, according to all the eyewitness statements and videos, are far beyond our technology and could destroy our defenses, if so desired. They haven't done so, unless you count the missile silo shutdown incident and missiles shot down which seemed to be for the better.

It would appear that there is no need for concern. If they're real, I'd say they're just observing us monkeys. Pure curiosity of our behaviors.

the UFO will open the door. and they will catch you. and you have to run.
