Blackwhite Posted April 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) UFO mystery at RAF Lakenheath Latest Mildenhall news 27th March 2007 Mystery surrounds claims that jets from RAF Lakenheath were called to intercept a UFO. UFO experts claim to have a recording which they have posted on the internet as proof that London Military Air Traffic Control contacted a flight of US Air Force F-15s from the base, after a UFO was picked up on their radar on January 12. But air traffic control denies making the call – and RAF Lakenheath will not comment without having more detail over the alleged incident. Steve Johnson, features writer for UFO Data Magazine, said: "We are still looking into it and we have made a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Defence and have also contacted RAF Lakenheath – but they haven't got back to us yet." The magazine and UFO Monitors East Kent are analysing an audio file picked up by radio enthusiasts purporting to be a call made by London Military Air Traffic Control to a crew of F-15s flying out of RAF Lakenheath. They claim it tells the American airmen to intercept an unknown target at 3,000 to 4,000ft. The F-15s get a radar lock on the target and make a 'pass' at 17,000ft and then again at 17,700ft. Pilots described the black rock like object as unlike any aircraft they have ever seen. "One pilot was heard to say to another: 'Did you see that?' And the other replied: 'Yes, but I don't want to talk about it," said Chris Rolfe, of UFO Monitors East Kent. It is also claimed that the object occasionally appeared to come to a complete halt. UFO monitors are unable to give a location or a time for the incident, saying only that it happened in the afternoon. The base itself said it was unable to look into the incident without these details. A spokesman for London Military Air Traffic Control said: "I've spoken with both the civil and military supervisors at London Control. Neither has any record of an intercept request on or around January 12 – and intercept requests are recorded – so I cannot verify this account."

The public doesn't realize that such UFO encounters happen quite often and the majority of these encounters are not reported to the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
