UK Pilot Films UFO In Near-Miss Above Mohave Desert
The Daily Star - London
From Gerry gerry@farshore.force9.co.uk

What English pilot David Hastings saw as he flew his Cessna plane over the Mojave Desert in America came within a few feet of a mid-air collision. David quickly snapped two color photos as he and an ex American military pilot dove frantically to avoid the oval-shaped spaceship. The first print, passed over to the United States Navy, showed an empty sky, but the second revealed a huge object with black rings around its top and bottom passing feet away from a wing. The Navy admits that it is completely baffled. The near-miss is recounted for the first time in today's Pilot magazine. David said: "As we neared the Mojave Desert under radar control it happened. We both suddenly realized that we had fast traffic in our 12 o'clock. "We pushed the control panel and ducked. A shadow flashed over us but there was absolutely no sound. We slowly raised our heads and asked: 'What the heck?' "We called the radar control tower to check if they had another aircraft and the answer was no. "We took the film to a one-hour photo shop and there it was. "One shot had nothing, but the second had the blurred image of the UFO." (Reference #2, 3)

SOooo...where was the photograph? Everyone was asking where's the bloody photo?... Someone in our news groups finally sent us a link to MegaStar, where the UFO could be seen, or so it seemed. So we did a little surfing, and this is what we came up with. Although it was not what we were expecting, we did find a UFO on that page. We are nearly certain that the UFO image, which you see here, is an artist's rendering of the UFO object that WAS photographed. UFORC thanks Megastar for the image and post below:

Credit-MegaStar THIS is what English pilot David Hastings saw as he flew his Cessna plane over the Mojave Desert in America. His small plane came within a few feet of a mid-air collision with a gigantic UFO. David quickly snapped two color photos as he and an ex American military pilot dived frantically to avoid the oval shaped spaceship. The first print, passed over to the United States Navy, showed an empty sky, but the second revealed a huge object with black rings around its top and bottom passing feet away from a wing. The Navy admits that it is completely baffled. The near-miss is recounted for the first time in today's Pilot magazine. David said: "As we neared the Mojave Desert under radar control it happened.
