Unexplainable things behind the cockpit door

Right from the dawn of the world aviation industry, the pilot wing often conveys many stories about the emergence of inexplicable things outside the cockpit window. One of the most puzzling cases occurred near the end of World War II, when the Air Force of both the Allies and the Germans confirmed that they had seen strange glowing objects right on the side. After the plane and quickly disappeared.

A few years after that date, the term 'UFO' (unidentified flying object) officially appeared. In an article published last October 19 in US News & World Report , author Michael Morella issued a warning that UFOs could distract pilots, causing serious aviation disasters. important. 'The number of people killed in UFO accidents is equivalent to the number of people killed by collisions ,' said Robert Sheaffter, a UFO hunter.

So what is the truth behind these stories?

There is an example that experts still often repeat, which is the case of a military plane crashing while chasing UFOs. In January 1948, four P-51 Mustang fighters received orders to change the route to check the described object with an estimated diameter of 300 feet. After a struggle, three P-51s ended their pursuit except for one pilot named Thomas Mantell who continued to control his aircraft to a height of 25,000 feet without oxygen, the devices lost. signal and not long down the spiral.

Common characteristics of UFOs are unusual lights appearing in the sky?

This story is quickly exaggerated with claims that it is a giant UFO made of metal and it may have used a space weapon to pull Mantell away. However, later, experts gave a fairly simple explanation that Mantell chased after a 30-foot-diameter silver ball of Navy Navy.

For decades, there have been many reports of strange lights in the sky, but evidence of the emergence of extraterrestrial beings has never been clear, despite thousands of questions about UFOs. notice every year.

UFOs are almost exclusively seen with unusual lights like the strange light in the sky of Phoenix, Arizona in 1997. At that time, a giant V-shaped ship appeared with many The lights on the hull, causing thousands of people to witness it directly, were stunned. Most suspect that aliens fly to Earth. But soon, the truth about it was exposed, it was nothing more than flares attached to helium-filled balls.

Similarly, another report from 1968 describes an object that looks like a cigar with rectangular windows that many imaginative people believe that this is the space shuttle's tourist ship. aliens but according to the North American Aerospace Command (NORAD), it is simply a fragment of Soviet satellites.

Also, mentioning the most bizarre thing about UFOs is not to be overlooked by the tragic explosion of TWA Flight 800 between the sky off the coast of Long Island in July 1996. Many witnesses confirmed that a trail of light moved to the point where a large fireball suddenly appeared. Before the 45-minute explosion, they saw it about 70 miles from the accident site. The object is not like a plane and seems to have changed colors from gray to silver.

Carrying out the calculation of the rate of meteorite collisions with the earth's atmosphere, astrophysicist Mike Shara gave an explanation for the streaks of light. Thought Mike Shara, every 50 years will happen to destroy the plane due to a large meteorite explosion. However, when checked, Flight 800's body had no signs of meteorite debris. The hypothesis that the fuel tank caught fire immediately was proposed and was more reasonable.

People who don't believe in UFOs think that we should look at the logic of the problem. Even with the appearance of real aliens, there is no reason why residents from other stars give up time and cost just to 'play around' with us. In his article, Morella also wrote that '5% of people who saw UFOs didn't seem to prove it, not to mention that many of these were strongly influenced by their perception. personal and previous explanations'.

This is why, although it has been more than 60 years since the first UFO report, modern science has not been able to find any clues.
