Greece: Amazing UFO Incident Involving Air Force And Airline

A remarkable UFO incident that occurred in the skies over Athens
over a year ago but was kept secret by the Greek Aviation
Authority and the Greek Air Force has recently come to light and
is receiving extensive media coverage in Greece. A recording of
the conversation (in Greek) between the pilot involved and the
airport control tower has been made public and can be listened
to below. A copy of the official document named 'Lightning 2'
commanding two F-16's to intercept the UFO can also be viewed
below.

On 11 October 2007 at 3:20am the captain of Olympic Airways
flight 266 from Athens to London noticed an extremely unusual
object moving erratically to the west of Athens. The object was
somewhat star like in appearance however much brighter and
larger with a constantly shifting shape.

Meanwhile the captains of Olympic Airways flights 730 to Kos and
700 to Rhodes reported the same thing. The sighting was then
confirmed by Athens Airport control tower, whose employees
observed the object moving towards Karystos, a small town on the
Greek island of Euboea. At this point the Greek Air Force was
contacted.

The Greek Air Force confirmed that they too were visually
monitoring the object from their radar station at the top of
Parintha Mountain near Athens and had observed that it was
travelling at incredible speed and did not fit the description
of any terrestrial craft. The staff at the Air Force radar
station later described the UFO as large, of an unusual shape
and very bright. Air force staff were requested to photograph
the craft and did so (no pictures have come to light yet).

At this point two F-16=92s were sent up too intercept the UFO,
while the various control towers monitored the object from
earth. The object then shot off at incredible speed skyward and
the Jets failed to indentify anything. While both staff at the
Athens Airport and the Parintha Mountain Air Force Radar Unit
confirmed that they clearly observed the object their radars
picked up nothing.

The ensuing deliberate cover-up of this incident by the Greek
authorities is being treated as fact by that country's media.

Possibly the most bizarre aspect of this sighting is that
although the object was witnessed simultaneously by three pilots
with decades of flying experience between them, staff at
multiple radar and ground control stations and the Greek Air
Force, who actually sent jets up to chase it, it has been
dismissed by some Greek Government officials as a mistaken
sighting of...wait for it=85.Venus! This, despite the fact that
the captain of flight 266 remains convinced he saw a UFO.

With that in mind, are these Government officials planning to
request an investigation into the capability, if not sanity, of
their country's Air Force ground control staff? Don=92t hold your
breath.

It is hardly surprising that if indeed aliens are visiting earth
they would take an interest in Greece, that cradle of western
civilization. What is more surprising is Western media=92s
complete non-coverage of this incident and the continuing and
sometimes absurd attempts by governments to deny the obvious as
far as UFOs are concerned. Perhaps the Ancient Athenian culture
of intellectual curiosity and questioning existing belief
systems has been replace by one of secrecy, concealment and the
idea that the public does not have the right to know what is
happening in the universe around them.

Below is the recording of the pilots conversation with the
airport control tower:
