UFO sighting over Europe?

On a flight from Rome to Paris on April 29, 2006, passengers say they saw a UFO.

Recordings with a camera speak for it.

But can that really be?

Years later, this is still being discussed.

Since then, the alleged UFO recording has been discussed among UFO believers.

Because something that ends up on the Internet can still cause a stir years later.

Like this video from 2006. Another best example is the enigmatic story of the UFO video of a US fighter jet pilot, known as Flir1, which has been circulating on the internet since 2007.

Skeptics believe it is fake or part of a disinformation campaign.

However, in 2020, the US Department of Defense declassified the clip and confirmed it as genuine.

UFO sighting: Prominent athletes also report flying objects in the sky

Prominent examples such as Chris Smalling also confirm that UFO believers are not necessarily cranks.

The defending star of AS Roma and his wife want to have experienced a match of the third kind while on holiday in Jamaica.

The influencer explains on Instagram that she and her husband Chris have seen a flying saucer in the sky, writes

"I promise we didn't eat any magic mushrooms or anything like that, but @smalling and I saw the craziest UFO last night," the influencer swears.

Accordingly, the two are sure that the object was not a drone or something similar.

"For the record, it was 100 percent not a drone.

It was massive and sophisticated, with faint lights along the edges.”

And Smalling isn't the first soccer star to claim to have seen a UFO.

Welsh footballer Gareth Bale, who is under contract with Real Madrid, also reports having had an extraterrestrial experience.

"I know some UFOs are probably secret government affairs," the professional kicker said on YouTube.

He is 100 percent convinced "that aliens exist."

UFO Sighting: Facts versus Sensational Stories

The Society for Research into the UFO Phenomenon has processed around 4,500 reports from German-speaking countries alone since the early 1970s, says Hans-Werner Peiniger, UFO researcher and chairman of the Society, to

.

Often, however, these were foil balloons in unusual shapes, fast-flying insects, weather phenomena or satellites.

"There are only about five percent of the cases for which we did not find a comprehensible explanation," Peininger continued.

Sensational UFO stories just spread more easily than scientific facts.
