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

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.

"I'm certainly not saying that it was something of another world. All I'm saying is that I have never seen anything like it before in all my years of flying."

The sightings were confirmed by passengers Kate and John Russell. John, 74, said: "I saw an orange light. It was like an elongated oval."

The sightings were also confirmed by an unnamed pilot with the Blue Islands airline.

The Civil Aviation Authority safety notice states that a Tri-Lander aircraft flying close to Alderney spotted the object.

"Certain parts of the report have not been published. I cannot say why," said a senior CAA source.

  • YOu can be sure if this happened on a major airline the crew would probably send the flight attendents in the cabin and ask everybody to close their blinds to make sure nobody see's it and prevent a mass panic amongst passengers.

  • The guy can tell the difference between a cloud and a solid form -- Geez, stop with the cloud nonsense!

  • i advise people to report anything out of the ordinary. IF soemthign is hostile then it is important you report it so our air force can respond quickly. But i am hoping they are not hostile and i hope our government are not hostile to visitors from other planets and wish to be friendly to them

  • Whether this guy is telling the truth or not nobody is going to believe him. Only seeing somethign for yourself is when you truly believe. If this ufo he claims he saw was bullet or cigar shaped i would be worried as something bullet shaped would suggest a un piloted weapon of some sort. Imagine if there are nazi type people from other planets planning to perform experiments on us. I would hope ufo have come to heal the sick and not harm us but you can never be sure what their intentions r

  • @junkification Blasted! I see now the error of my ways, what else could it be?

  • @trefod

    "lenticular cloud?"

    No such thing, clearly it's a super-massive space alien UFO mothership, any idiot can see that, why would the media lie like this anyway?

  • Why do they stress: It is not a cloud! When that is exactly what it is... a lenticular cloud... A common phenomenon.

  • Never heard of lenticular clouds?

  • Since when did the comments box become a storyline inserter xD

  • Don't fire on craft from other planets i repeat do not fire. YOu may inadvertenly trigger a catastrophy. ALso consider they may of come many light years to bring medical supplies to our in need hospitals. tell our government to not fire on ufo craft from other planets that are here to bring medical supplies and technology.  Can you imagine the level of loss if our government fired upon helpers from other planets. This is exactly why they won't come here. We dont deserve their help
