UFO alarm in Istanbul airspace: Pilots report unidentified traffic
Turkey Today ^ | Jan 29, 2025

Posted on 02/01/2025 10:08:03 AM PST by BenLurkin

For the past three days, pilots flying in Istanbul airspace have reported unidentified flying objects (UFOs) on their radar, triggering widespread concern.

According to Demiroren News Agency, pilots using Sabiha Gokcen Airport received traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) warnings, prompting an extensive search in the region. However, authorities have been unable to determine the source of these alerts.

Upon receiving the warnings, pilots immediately informed air traffic controllers, leading to coordinated search efforts in the air, at sea, and on land. While some pilots speculated that the alerts could be caused by a drone or a ship at sea, search teams found no conclusive evidence.

Radio transmissions between pilots and air traffic control revealed the urgency of the situation. One pilot reported: “On final approach at 300 feet, we received a traffic alert. It could be a drone or another aircraft. For your information.”

The control tower’s response indicated that similar warnings had been reported earlier: “Sir, we have been dealing with this for the past two and a half hours. Several flights before you also received this warning. We have reported it to coastal authorities.”

My first thought was that they “appeared” over there to let Turkey know that they weren’t immune to them, and to not be so uppity in Syria.

“We can go anywhere we want, appear anywhere we want, disappear when you look for us, and there’s nothing you can do about it. So sit down”.

If the 1950s flying saucers are coming back, would it be too much to ask that some good old rock and roll, decent movies, and friendly women come back too?

Turkey has rather sophisticated drone technology. Everyone does since Obama gave the technology away.

Sometimes there is a light reason. Back in 1972, I was at Turlock California and some students there at the college got an idea to satisfy an assignment. They got some balsa wood. Melted a few candles on them after they made them into a square shape. Them attached that to a balloon made up of seamed, clear garment bags they got from a laundry. Then they put alunminum foil handing down and put gas inside the bags with the bottom exposed to the candles. In other words they made a balloon for a science project for the college class. They put the foil on it so they could see the flame reflect while it was in the air. Lit it, and launched. They made the first one small but the second one was really big and it went up a long way...way up there so we could just barely see the reflection.

Unfortunately the radar at Castle AFB could about 20 miles south. Shortly after, the UFO’s stopped being sighted right after investigators talked with the admin at the college.

I’m terrified at what they would do to screw up a remake of Earth vs the Flying Saucers. I mean, look what they did to The Day The Earth Stood Still. What we would we would be Attack of the 50 Foot Tranny.

Aliens over Constantinople say “Why they have to go turn that gorgeous cathedral into some butt-ugly mosque?”

You ask too much of a people that can no longer perform.
