AN RAF expert has
revealed how he tracked a whole fleet of “spaceships” on military
radar. He has
kept silent for more than 35 years, but now has come forward with
the truth.
Wing Commander Alan Turner, 64, said colleagues sat stunned when 35
super-fast vessels appeared on their screens. Turner, who was a chief operator of the RAF’s radar system
for 29 years, said the craft were equally spaced and shot from
3,000ft to 60,000ft at almost 300mph.
Incredibly, every few seconds one of the UFOs would suddenly vanish
from radar and be replaced by an identical vessel moments later.
According to Turner, six military radars, plus operators at
Heathrow, spotted the UFOs east of Salisbury Plain and filed reports
on the unexplained phenomenon in 1971.
The incident, which has baffled and haunted Turner for decades, took
place at RAF Sopley on the south-west coast of England in the summer
of 1971.
The RAF chief even drew a map charting their flight in between key
sites like RAF Lyneham, Wilts, and the aircraft navigation
transmitter at Brookmans Park, Herts.
Three days later, the Ministry of Defence visited the RAF and
instructed staff to “never speak about the incident again”.
Wing Cmdr Turner, who retired from the RAF in 1995, said: “UFOs are
a fact — I tracked them on military radar units. What I saw defied
all logic and was, quite frankly, extraordinary. It wasn’t just me."
Turner said: “I instantly knew this wasn’t a convoy of
military planes. The only craft with that rate of climb were supersonic lightning
aircraft but they wouldn’t have been able to hold such a perfect
formation. They also make a lot of noise. No one heard a thing on the night in question.”
Turner, a former head of air traffic control at RAF Lossiemouth,
insists it is "stupid and arrogant" to rule out the existence of
extra-terrestrials and is open to the suggestion that he witnessed
craft from another world.
"I have no idea what they were, but I certainly wouldn't rule out
the possibility that they were UFOs. There is certainly a chance
that we have been visited by extra-terrestrials," he said. "It is
terribly arrogant and silly to think that we are alone in the
universe."
He feels the time is right to end his silence and has accepted an
invitation to be the keynote speaker at an
international UFO
conference in Pontefract, Yorkshire, in October.
"I have spoken to three ex-Air Force mates, who held senior
positions, and they have seen similar things, but did not report
them as they felt their personal integrity would be questioned. That
is why I kept quiet for so long, but I know what I saw."
