SIGHTING: ALAND ISLANDS (FORTY MILES SOUTH OF) (FINLAND)
Witness Testimony
"En route from London Stansted Airport, UK to Helsinki Intl, Finland with Czech Airlines, Boeing 737.Approximately forty miles south of the Finnish Aland Isles I witnessed an unfamiliar object travelling at a high rate of motion.At the time I would estimate that the aircraft was between 28,000-32,000 feet in altitude, which inturn I would estimate the object in question was at an altitude between 22,000-24,000 feet.I first noticed a faint tangerine glow in the corner of my eye, and turned to face it in curiosity. I was stunned to see a large distorted ball of flames travel beneath the aircraft in a smooth and powerful motion.I would describe the object as a ball of intense, dark flames no smalled than a Douglas DC-3 followed by a thin 'tail' of flickering flames which may have measured upto 150 feet in lenght. I believe the object did indeed have leave a contrail.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))"
