This taken from The Sun Newspaper today.
AIR investigators are probing sightings of two UFOs off the Channel Islands — one up to a MILE wide.
The huge cigar-shaped objects were reported by pilots on separate flights.
Aurigny airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, saw something strange hovering west of Alderney.
He said: “It was about 40 miles from us. A very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area. It was 2,000ft up and stationary.
“It could have been as much as a mile wide.”
He later spotted an identical object to the west — nearer Guernsey.
Capt Bowyer, a pilot of 20 years, added: “It was visual for nine minutes.
“I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
An unnamed pilot on a Blue Islands airline also saw the objects, which didn’t register on radars.
Air traffic controller Paul Kelly, 31, said the pilots saw the objects from opposite sides on Monday afternoon.

Very interesting.It is obvious the pilot is not making the story up and other passengers also saw the UFO.

The radar should be able to determine its actual size, heading and location. As far as I know there was no followup on this.

www5.channelonline.tv/news/templates/cinews2.aspx?articleid=9056&zoneid=1 (follow up to ufo article) if this is a photo of what the pilot saw thats a shame because this is a cloud - but it does not explain the radar. Also an experienced pilot would surely have been able to recognise an odd cloud formation, anyway, still interesting - i do believe in alien life, but i doubt its bothering to come and see us.

strange though isnt it.?
simmilar descriptions have been recorded back in history that also match up with sightings that are reported today, not saying that they are genuine obviously that would be wrong without some form of proof but you cant just dismiss them out of hand just through a persons own disbelief etc?
would have been nice if the radar was a little more accurate with its information though, but i suppose at least it cought something?
