Fighter jet hits UFO
Metro (UK) ^ | 10 June 2008

UFO had a mid-air collision with a fighter jet over central Europe, a leaked report has revealed.

Defence chiefs are investigating claims that the Romanian MIG 21 fighter plane was struck by 'strange objects'.

The official report says the cockpit of the jet was shattered.

Romanian defence ministry officials have ruled out all normal types of collision such as birdstrikes, ice or small meteorites.

Chief investigator Commander Nicolae Grigorie said in the report: 'We can definitely say what this thing was not, but we cannot say what it was.'

The impact on a training flight above Transylvania took only 67 milliseconds and was recorded on an in-flight video camera.

Pilot Marin Mitrica was slightly injured but managed to land the plane safely after the incident last year.

Baffled defence chiefs have now passed the UFO incident on to the Security Committee of European Air Forces for investigation.

If you don’t know what it is, it must be unidentified.

MiG 21? Strange objects? Probably jet impeller blades meeting the fuselage.
