No formal report exists anywhere to my knowledge. The later comments about the effects of what could be Clear Air Turbulence need have nothing to do with UFOs. The descriptions here, while interesting, are pretty close to "take it or leave it" right now for me. <br /><br />I am not, by the way, going to continue to look up lots of cases just to give an opinion --- that is asking a lot. If someone has any case which seems like a possible UFOlogical anchor case, then they should not only mention it but clearly say why they think so. The same thing goes for any case that I've mentioned for which there seems to someone to be good reason to be doubted. As in all productive conversations, parties need to "bring something to the table."

On the day in question I was one <br />of a party of 50 NATO personnel who were en route to Canada for the NATO Ministerial Meetings in Ottawa. Our plane, an Air <br />Canada DC-8 took off from Orly Airport, Paris, some time after 10.00 A.m., and we were told that the flight to Ottawa would take <br />about seven hours. As there were only 50 of us, the plane was relatively empty. I took a window seat on the port side (left) near the wing. The other two seats in my row remained empty.<br /><br />"The weather was beautiful, and the Captain announced that we would fly at 36,000 (or maybe 38,000 - I do not recall clearly) feet. After lunch had been served, I sat enjoying the view of the vast expanse of sky above the clouds. The windows of the DC-8 were very large, the largest I seem to recall having seen on an aircraft, and came down quite low beside the passenger. <br /><br />"I was just reaching down to take a book from my hold-all, and was astonished to glimpse below the 'plane something dark and <br />absolutely tremendous that stood out in vivid contrast to the brightness all around. I could not believe my eyes. I pressed close to the window in unbelief and there, almost beneath the DC-8, was a gigantic dark grey 'torpedo'. It seemed menacing and frightening, and I had the impression that it was stationary. It was utterly unlike anything that I had ever seen in my whole life. It looked as though made of steel. No portholes or windows were visible. No wings or projections. Nothing but the long perfect torpedo form, with its bullet- shaped head, and the rear end which was cut off sharply and squarely. (1) The monster - and I emphasise that it was this terrifying size that impressed me - was well below us. I thought maybe 2,000 metres or so below us, but of course I had no way of being able to gauge this or to estimate the size of the thing. <br /><br />"After my glimpse of the monster 'torpedo,' I sat there brooding on it for half an hour or so, as I recall, when suddenly the DC- 8 started to shudder and pitch up and down violently, nosing steeply upwards, then steeply downwards, and this went on for a long, long time. I might explain that I had often encountered turbulence and 'air-pockets' when travelling by aeroplane, but <br />it had never been anything remotely like this. This was as though we were in a gigantic lift that was shooting up and down madly. And, as though that was not enough, there now came a succession of reports like cannon-fire or thunder, filling the cabin. Meanwhile the plane continued to shudder and 'buck' violently, and each time it came down I had the sensation that it was going to break in half. "Throughout all this, everybody in the passengers' cabin sat there petrified, absolutely silent, white-faced. <br /><br />"Did anyone else aboard the DC-8 see the 'torpedo'? That is the <br />key question. Given the position of the 'torpedo' in relation <br />to the passenger cabin, only a passenger looking out and <br />downwards at that precise moment would have caught a brief <br />glimpse of the object and, as I have said, I found no evidence <br />that any other passenger did see it. <br /><br />"As for the plane's crew, there was only the one stewardess who seemed upset. What is certain is that the pilots up in the nacelle certainly would have had abundant time in which to see the 'cigar,' as it cut slightly diagonally across their route from their port side and well below them. No explanation or comment whatsoever about the 'cigar' was given by the Captain or any other crew member, and no statement was made by the authorities when we landed in Canada. <br />buntalanlucuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058846205282464955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-50978935127435106062014-05-24T21:28:23.197-07:002014-05-24T21:28:23.197-07:00Yes, "...a bit of fun...".

Have some FUN with this stuff. Yea, we are probably wrong in all our assumptions, but so what?
