Update: 'Mile-wide UFO' spotted by British airline pilot

Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, described what he thought to be a UFO as 'a cigar-shaped brilliant white light', similar to the image supplied by Dennis Plunket of the British Flying Saucer bureau

An official air-miss report on the incident several weeks ago appears in Pilot magazine. Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, flying close to Alderney first spotted the object, described as "a cigar-shaped brilliant white light". The Civil Aviation Authority safety notice states that a Tri-Lander aircraft flying close to Alderney spotted the object. "Certain parts of the report have not been published. I cannot say why," said a senior CAA source. Earlier this year, however, the MOD declared its intentions to open its UFO files to the public. (Daily Mail)
