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.

Or a malfunctioning Doppler radar?

the Swiss news site ’20 Minutes’

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

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.

>> 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. <<

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.

>> A few minutes after being queried on the issue the radar images were hurriedly removed from the departments website. <<

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.

Probably a stork blocking part of the signal while perched on the radar reflector. :-\
