An ex-RAF Wing Commander who was a chief operator of the RAF’s radar system for 29 years has revealed how he and up to 30 colleagues tracked a fleet of high speed UFOs as they raced across the skies.

Wing Commander Alan Turner spoke of an incident which dates back to 1971, he says that 35 super-fast craft appeared on radar in perfect formation and traveled silently at impossible speeds across part of southern England. The unidentified craft were able to climb from 3,000ft to 60,000ft at speeds of up to 300mph.

“I instantly knew this wasn’t a convoy of military planes.” he said.

“The only craft with that rate of climb were supersonic lightning aircraft but they wouldn’t have been able to hold such a perfect formation.

“They also make a lot of noise.

“No one heard a thing on the night in question.”

Wing Commander Turner, who is an MBE, was ordered by Ministry of Defence top brass never to speak of what he had seen that night. He will be guest speaker at the Close Encounters conference in Pontefract, West Yorks, next month.
