A commercial airline pilot has reported seeing two unidentified flying objects in the sky near Guernsey.

The bright yellow flat disc shapes, estimated to be twice the size
of a Boeing 737, were spotted on Monday, 12 to 15 miles north east of
the island.

Captain Ray Bowyer was about to fly an Aurigny plane from Alderney
to Southampton when he saw the objects through binoculars.

Mr Bowyer said he was "pretty shook-up" by the sighting.

"This is not something you see every day of the week - it was pretty scary," he said.

At first he thought it was the sun reflecting from greenhouses in
Guernsey. He said the objects were bright like the sun, but did not
hurt his eyes when he looked at them.

The stationary objects were also observed by other aircraft and the passengers on the plane.

John Spencer, deputy chairman of the British UFO Research
Association, said: "These types of sightings have been reported by
pilots - generally accepted to be reliable and sensible observers -
since the 1940s and they have excited attention to this day.

"Such light effects are often popularly thought to represent alien
visitors but many UFO researchers believe they more likely represent
natural, atmospheric, phenomena not yet fully understood by science.

"However, a similar encounter in 1978 over the Bass Straits in
Australia, where the pilot was in radio contact with the ground
throughout, resulted in the pilot never being heard from again, so
these phenomena are important to study."

This is the sort of sighting that is taken seriously and should be investigated thoroughly

Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs for the Ministry of Defence
said: "While no witnesses are infallible, pilots are trained observers
and less likely than most people to misidentify something mundane.

"The MoD's UFO case files contain several reports from civil and
military pilots, some of which were correlated by radar. This is the
sort of sighting that is taken seriously and should be investigated
thoroughly.

"While most UFOs can be explained as misidentifications of
aircraft, weather balloons, satellites and suchlike, a small percentage
are more difficult to explain. This is one of the most intriguing
sightings I've heard about in recent years."

A current spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence, said that while
it does monitor air space for any unusual foreign objects which might
pose a threat, they would not be carrying out an investigation in this
instance.

Oh, well that's OK then! But if you watch the ITV interview with the
pilot (above link) - he describes the craft as being about one mile IN
LENGTH! Now, that's a big bit of something for the MOD to think there
is nothing worth investigating.

How are these MOD responses dished out? Answer-phone?

"Hello, this is the MOD - what you are reporting has no National
defence significance... please leave your name and address after the
tone.. **BEEP**..."

But TWO pilots have come forward on this one. -

This is possibly a better documented case than O'Hare. Already -

It does seem, though, tha these UFO sightings *are* being investigated by the Ministry Of Defence.

Experienced Aurigny pilot Captain Ray Bowyer's
reports of massive UFOs off the coast of Alderney have been
corroborated by a Blue Islands pilot en route to Jersey.

Two experienced airline pilots on separate flights saw something up
to a mile wide off the coast of Alderney on Monday afternoon.
Surprisingly, Jersey radar equipment did not pick up the object,
although an air traffic controller said he had received simultaneous
reports from the Aurigny and Blue Islands pilots.

Aurigny Captain Ray Bowyer, 50, said he saw the strange object during a flight from Southampton.

He spotted a bright-yellow light 10 miles west of Alderney while
his plane was about 30 miles from the island and at 4,000ft.

 

"It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area. It was 2,000ft up and stationary," he said.

"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 737."

A 737 is slightly smaller than a jumbo jet.

"But it must have been much bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as much as a mile wide."

As he continued his approach to Alderney, Capt. Bowyer saw a second identical object further to the west.

"It was exactly the same but looked smaller because it was further away. It was closer to Guernsey."

The sightings come days after reports that scientists have
discovered outside our solar system an Earth-like planet capable of
supporting extraterrestrial life.

"I can�t explain it. At first, I thought it might have been a
reflection from a vinery in Guernsey, but that would have disappeared
quickly. This was clearly visual for about nine minutes."

The sightings happened at about 3pm. Capt. Bowyer, who has flown
commercial planes for about 20 years, said he had described the objects
to air traffic control and filled in an incident report.

"As I got closer to it, it became clear to me that it was tangible.
I was in two minds about going towards it to have a closer look but
decided against it because of the size of it. I had to think of the
safety of the passengers first."

He added that the experience had been quite scary.

"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."

Paul Kelly, 31, the air traffic controller who was on duty, said
the Blue Islands pilot had made a similar report, but nothing had
appeared on his radar.

"The pilot from Blue Islands was en route to Jersey at the same
time and as he went past Sark he described an object behind him to his
left," he said.

"The description was very similar to Captain Bowyer�s and they
described it as being in exactly the same place. But they were looking
at it from opposite sides."

The pilot told him the object had been 1,500ft beneath his plane.

 

The Blue Islands plane was at 3,500ft at the time so, again, both pilots placed it at the same altitude.

"If the object was stationary, our equipment would not have picked it up because the radar would have screened it out."

There can always be a good mundane 'explanation' in debunking or
sceptical terms - "it's CGI" if it's a moving picture, - or "why did
the camera stop/start, focus/not focus etc,. (delete as appropriate ).
I've even seen "it's too good to be true."

No one's making any declaration of reality - but people are and
should report and penly discuss what they see / hear in the knowledge
that at least they will not be ridiculed but instead will be listened
to and treated with dignity and respect.

For instance, here's a good possible explanation:

Another Channel Islands commercial pilot, - Flybe's Troy Queripel, put forward this theory yesterday.

"There is military air space all around Guernsey and there is a lot
of activity in that space. We call them danger areas," said the
40-year-old.

"My theory is that it could have been some sort of military test aircraft that entered our air space by mistake."

The objects were seen by Aurigny captain Ray Bowyer and confirmed by the pilot of a Blue Islands aircraft.

Reports were sent to the Ministry of Defence for further investigation.

French military air space starts 20 miles west of Guernsey and occupies an area of approximately 150 square miles.

British military air space starts 40 miles north of Guernsey and
Captain Queripel believes military involvement was the likeliest
explanation.

"I am not trying to discredit anything that Ray said because I saw
him 45 minutes after the incident and he was clearly shaken. He
obviously saw something.

But think about the stealth bomber and the U2 spy plane. They were being tested for years before anyone was aware of them.

 

"The stealth bomber had been around for 25 years before anyone knew
about it. The first the Iraqis knew of it was when it was above them
dropping bombs."

He said it is impossible to know what is being tested today.

 

"The U2 spy plane was taking photos over Russia and they knew nothing about it at first."

Captain Queripel, who has been a pilot for seven years, said
military air spaces around the island are off-limits to commercial
planes.

"They are called danger areas for a reason: enter them at your
peril. You can ask for permission to go through, but it would usually
be denied."

He added: "Two per cent of me thinks it was little green men, but
the other 98% thinks it was the military testing new technology that we
haven't even heard of� "

Unless of course the 'little green men' were doing some recon on the millitary 'Danger Area'....

In the context of what we have been lead to believe over the last
60+ years - yes, it is possible that this is new technology of human
construction. But what about human origin... There is plenty of
evidence that 'downed' technology has 'en-route' to official detainment
has actually ended up in the hands of the private aero-space sector.

But considering the context of what our inside sources are seemingly starting to discuss and reveal Link
- it would be un-likely that this is a 'mundane' craft -
reverse-engineered or otherwise. But it can be seen as a formation part
of the growing 'show' leading up to full Disclosure. Are the ET's being
co-operative with their terrestrial counter parts?

On a 'pilots discussion board' named the Rumour Mill - a 'new'
member signed up and posted a picture supposedly 'floating around in
email' purporting to depict the Guernsey UFO.!

Was this the Disinfo machine cranking the cogs? Very probably, as
the picture itself can be found on the internet via google images -
without the UFO! lol! Not very good Disinfo then... But maybe that is
all that needs to be done in order to discredit the entire story.

And now we have the above theory from the fellow Arigny pilot who
thinks the UFO could be new tehcnolog. So, is this the end of the
Guernsey Show, for now?

Judging by what happened to the UFO that appeared over O'Hare airport recently - I suspect not.

There is a further intruiging link here - and only coming from the
relatively close proximity of France. Three apparently seperate videos,
purporting to show a similar UFO or UFO's - hovering long enough for
people to get a very good picture it seems... Link1 Link2 Link3

Stay tuned.
