RAF radar chief: I saw UFO fleet

An RAF expert yesterday revealed how he tracked a whole fleet of "spaceships" on military radar - but the Ministry of Defence told him to keep quiet.

Wing Commander Alan Turner, 64, said colleagues sat stunned when 35 super-fast vessels appeared on their screens.

Wing Cmdr Turner, who was a chief operator of the RAF's radar system for 29 years, said the craft were equally spaced and shot from 3,000ft to 60,000ft at almost 300mph.

Salt Lake City Fire Department crews battle a blaze at Western Metals Recycling near 4400 west and 700 south Aug. 27, 2008. The fire burned wooden pallets and some old cars and no injuries were reported.

Utah - Several small fires at a metal recycling plant erupted into a huge cloud of thick black smoke on Salt Lake City's west side Thursday morning.

At about 9:45 a.m. an explosion caused power lines to arc and throw sparks onto the lot, igniting fires in old cars, garbage and pallets at Western Metal Recycling, 4221 W. 700 South, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Scott Freitag

Firefighters don't know what caused the initial explosion.

In the morning hours of Monday, May 19, 2008, a small farm located some 15 kilometers northeast of the locality of Santa Rosa was in a stir as several nervous pigs and their piglets were being placed in a truck for an early morning transfer to another field.

At daybreak, the farm's occupants were stunned by the scene that confronted them: only a few meters away from the vehicle, they found one of the sows and her young, displaying deep incisions and with no apparent explanation as to how they managed to jump over the 1.80 meter tall siding that surrounded the truck.

Argentina: Sheep Mutilation Report from the City of Rosario, Santa Fe Province

The case occurred on the premises of a marine company that does barge construction and repair work, located near the old facilities of the Swiff packing plant. The premises border on the north with a unit of the Naval Subprefecture, on the south with the Saladillo Creek and on the east with the Parana River.

The events took place on the evening of April 23, 2008 according to information furnished by Mr. Claudio Petri, watchman of the premises. Before leaving his shift at 20:00 hrs, he saw the sudden motion of what he defined as "a shadow" through his office window. When he went out to investigate, he saw nothing unusual. When the shifts changed, he turned over his post to his relief and went away.

Texas Official Demands Answers About UFO

Dozens of Stephenville residents reported seeing UFOs in the area in January. At first, the military reported there were no aircraft in the area that night. Two weeks later, officials said they were conducting training exercises in the area.

Now some city officials want to know if a government exercise was being performed, why they weren't notified ahead of time.

"I want to know why public officials weren't notified of a large military operation in our area," said Stephenville City Councilmember Mark Murphy. He has filed a complaint with U. S. Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration, demanding answers.

"My main concern is public safety," said Councilman Murphy. "I want to make sure that if anything like this is going on, people are alerted."
