Unconfirmed reports indicate that the crash of a
737 in Pakistan last Friday may have been caused by a UFO sighting by the pilot
minutes before the accident.
In the Russian news report below, rumors that air
traffic controllers received a report from the pilot of the Bhoja Air Boeing 737
minutes before the crash on approach to the Islamabad airport included an
account of being buzzed by a triangular-shaped unidentified flying object.
Pakistani officials have initially blamed the
crash on a combination of extremely bad weather, pilot error and aging
equipment. Eyewitnesses have stated that the jet was already consumed by fire as
it approached the airport and was too low and traveling too fast.
Whether or not a UFO actually interfered
with the flight or not is pure speculation at this point. It is whether the
pilot believed an unidentified aircraft was interfering with the flight which is
important, because of the resulting distraction and confusion.
Here is how Russian TV is reporting the incident.
The video is in Russian, obviously, but enough information can be understood by
the English language words used and the images inserted to understand what is
being said.
