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.

I doubt it “just happened” to form a circular shape. That wording suggests it’s a coincidence, and it certainly doesn’t look like a coincidence. What it looks like is that the water droplets reach a critical mass at a fairly constant radius from the radar.

It’s the normal thing to do to remove products of equipment malfunction.
I guess all of Switzerland happened to miss the giant UFO parked over the entire nation, which was picked up only by a single radar source. My God, it’s terrifying how stupid people are.
No doubt, the Thukiliops of Hugggardaggga +4.87 ‘specially.
Rumor has it they Aliens are here for the Swiss bikini models, highly prized on various planets ...

These are the guys, along with the French, that will be firing up the Large Hadron Collider - no black holes please.
Probably a stork blocking part of the signal while perched on the radar reflector. :-\

I wonder how something that big affected Earth’s orbit. Will there now be more global warming or global cooling?
