Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, described what he thought to be a UFO as ‘a cigar-shaped brilliant white light’, similar to the image supplied by Dennis Plunket of the British Flying Saucer bureau
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.
More and more people come forward reporting unknown objects they have observed. The Phoenix lights, objects over Mexico City, all sorts of strange things.
If your into podcasts and the unknown The Mysterious Universe is very good.
