Aegean Airspace Challengers ... From Outer Space?
By John K. Cooley
ABC News
A T H E N S, Aug. 8 - Greek and Turkish air force pilots, sharing contested
Aegean airspace, are used to seeing a fighter or two of their usually
friendly adversary looping around them, or diving to intercept their patrol
or training flights.
But for two Turkish trainee pilots, the aerobatics were different this time.
While on a routine training flight in a U.S.-made T-37 off the Turkish
Aegean coastal town of Candarli, they suddenly had reason to call their home
base control tower.
A bright object had approached their plane at high speed and reportedly
gyrated around them for about a half hour.
The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet quoted their call: "Object approaching the
wings. Now it's behind the plane ... now it's in front of us." They told
their controller and the regional war alert center of the Turkish army that
the apparent Unidentified Flying Object had an unusual shape that looked
like a cross between a cone and a disc.
A Widely Curious Incident
Turkish air force sources said they were investigating. So were the
neighboring Greeks.
The Turks were planning to report the encounter to international bodies -
especially the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
