... Planet Flipside....questioning reality since 2006

A report by the UK AIRPROX Board has concluded that a passenger aircraft preparing to  land at Glasgow Airport, Scotland, had a near miss encounter with a UFO. The pilot and co-pilot of the Airbus 320 observed the ‘ufo’ pass some 300 feet beneath the aircraft and calculated the risk of collision as high. The incident which happened on December 2nd 2012, was reported to aviation authorities by the pilot thereby triggering an AIRPROX investigation. The Airbus was descending at 4,000 feet when the ufo, described as ‘Blue and yellow in colour with a small frontal area’ loomed ahead. The pilot dismissed the idea of it being a balloon.

The investigation was unable to determine what the Airbus encountered, but was able to reject the idea that it was any readily identifiable flying object as the...

This morning (19/04/13) A witness has described seeing a ufo resembling a ‘disk or sphere’ hovering over Brisbane cultural centre before it moved off across the river. It took him a few minutes to realise he could video it on his phone. He snapped two stills images before switching to video.

The incident occurred at 8.03am and was filmed from Victoria Bridge Brisbane...

Wikileaks made over 1 million United States of America diplomatic documents available to the public today.

No less than the Chief of the Gendarmerie was despatched to ask the Americans what it could have been and was it anything to do with them? The short answer would appear to be ‘No’. Not only was the Chief of the Gendarmerie seeking answers from the Americans, in this instance King Hassan II was too...

Anyone with an interest in Ufology alights on this case eventually. No one can claim “Photoshopped” when dealing with a 16th Century woodcut and the accompanying text from the Nuremberg Gazette (an early broadsheet).  The text lends weight to the idea that the townsfolk did indeed witness an extraterrestrial event above Nuremberg.

The date was 4th of April 1561 and the good folks of Nuremberg awoke to find what appeared to be an aerial battle taking place high above them. I’ll let a contemporary account take up the rest of the story;

The “dreadful apparition” filled the morning sky with “cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about.” Between the spheres, there were “crosses with the color of blood.” This “frightful spectacle” was w...
