UFO as big as Switzerland?

On the morning of Friday the 24th of April of this year employees at MeteoSwiss (Switzerland’s meteorological department) got the surprise of their lives. Huge circular fields hovering over Switzerland were picked up by their radars (picture above). The blue coloured circles covered the entire country. The question was asked as to whether a massive UFO was in the upper-atmosphere above the scenic mountainous nation or perhaps these circles were signs of an imminent hurricane.

Meteorologist at MeteoSwiss claimed the circles were not UFOs or the signs of a hurricane about to wreak havoc on his country. Mr Schacher told the Swiss news site ’20 Minutes’ that they were merely caused by the reflection of water droplets that just happened to form a circular shape.

A few minutes after being queried on the issue the radar images were hurriedly removed from the departments website. Many Swiss UFO researchers have left comments on various internet forums expressing their doubt on the 'reflection water droplets' story, asking why was the image so quickly removed and who ordered its removal.

the Swiss news site ’20 Minutes’

Swiss TV's budget is 1/3 that of CBS.

Obviously a giant, planet-destroying scorpion.

Everybody worries about the Greys, the LGM, the MIB.

I gotta tell you, it's the BEM that you have to watch out for.

Clearly, if the center of those circles just happens to be the radarsite, it’s just a coincidence.

It is clear that the aliens hate the Swiss’s neutrality...or having been bankers for the Nazis, one of two.

If you love conspiracies, you can find a lot of them in weather radar images.

The one I like is the recurring UFOs seen on clear days in the Salt Lake City weather radar. It can be seen going 60 MPH AGAINST the wind heading west. Obviously no cloud can go against the wind and at such a great rate of speed.

The NWS says it is railroad trains reflecting the images back. SURE, a train at 20,000 feet. LOL Just because it follows the train tracks west out of SLC doesn’t mean a thing. The aliens use our train tracks as navigation aids.

I love spreading this conspiracy theory.
