UFO at Manchester Airport 2024

[pianopraze]

Soooo this is blowing up.

The original posters Twitter account has been deleted… red flag there.

There is a video of it in the sky and pics of it hovering on airport recorded by pilots in various planes here: Twitter link with photos and video

 
It is being reported that a #UFO landed and took off at Manchester Airport when approached by a security vehicle.

supposedly airport security approached it and it took off.

Thought about putting this in my Drones over military bases thread but this was daytime at UK airport supposedly seen and recorded by several pilots. But this fits in as the last week "drones" that they can not shoot down have been over various UK and USAF bases in England.

aliens forcing disclosure?

hoax?

don't think this one is us.





edit to add here is Reddit discussion link

edit to add here is OP statement, it is in link I posted above. The poster is supposedly pilot who created x and Reddit account, posted photos and video, then deleted their accounts to maintain privacy:

Hello everyone. The link to this thread was posted on the X thread. I thought I’d join in the conversation to clarify some points of discussion. Firstly my name is not Biggalow. I wont be revealing my true identity because I would like to remain anonymous. The last thing I want is my name or the first officers plastered all over the internet for the world to see. Please be respectful that we are professionals and like to keep our heads down and our noses clean. If the meta data reveals any personal details please do not post them. That being said I created the x account to share the photos video with the world as I believe they need to be seen. I have been an airline pilot for a uk operator for several decades and we know what is normal and what isnt. The photos and video were taken by a colleague and as such I can only relay what was told to me. But rest assured we know what we are looking at in the skies. This is not a balloon or a drone and has been a hot topic of conversation in our community for quite a while.

edit to add. more, possibly contradictory info found, this mentions June not November like Reddit: Link

Spoke to
@captainbiggalow
& got photos they received from their colleges at Manchester airport. No metadata could be recovered, ELA good. Timeline clarified, object seen on ground (1) (2), reported to tower, ops vehicle investigates (3), orb shoots up and video taken (4).

Since this is blowing up, and OP has deleted their account, here's more: UAP was about the size of a small car, as you can kind of see in (3) with the op vehicle. Said it shot upward when approached in 15 kt winds and hovered above, as seen in (4).

Poster created Reddit account and answered questions before deleting, said the incident happened in June. "But rest assured we know what we are looking at in the skies. This is not a balloon or a drone and has been a hot topic of conversation in our community for quite a while."

edit to add: Link to photos/video on cloud storage open at own risk

quote from pilot poster in Reddit link above:

The object descended vertically in 15kts of wind. Was the size of a small car. It hovered perfectly stationary a few feet off the ground.ATC sent out an Ops vehicle. As the vehicle approached the object it took off vertically.

The world needs to see that this isn’t just happening in the US. Several of my collegues have seen things they can’t explain recently. We spend 1000’s of hours in the air and know when something isn’t a balloon or a plane.

This was recorded within the past few months. The first officer reported to Manchester Tower. They sent out an ops vehicle to investigate. As the vehicle approached the orb took off. Not sure how many other witnesses there were.

Our company doesn’t like us partaking in social media and has been quite heavy handed on previous occasions. It’s best our identities remain anonymous.

I know it may sound strange, but who added that text with the Boeing 747 height to the photo?

I don’t know how to add photos here so I went through Reddit thread and grabbed any photo that would fit into DI format.  They are all in linked thread.

all the original unedited photos and videos linked in the cloud upload link.

I had thought the days of professional pilots "running away from" UFO stories, sightings, and photos was officially 'over.'

Why seek anonymity over something you felt was important enough to publish?

Unless of course, this is another CGI special... (not saying it is...)

Very interesting stuff... especially when you consider the value of parking your UFO at a major airport for what? Service?

[jaded]

Depending on ones employeers I'd think that not self identifying to the general public is wise. We forget that every nut job will also hound whoever took these photo's prolly doxxing them like they did David Grush. 

As to it landing?
Pilots are pilots. Why wouldn't it do a touch & go with the other guys? 
Bragging rights never get old. ROFL!!!

Since nothing bad happened to the observers or planes electronic equiptment screwed with  I went with the "why not?" theory. 

Unless it was a Student-Driver-military-drone an FFS!!! WRONG AIRPORT!!!
Map reading/coordinate 101 failure & somebody's in troubbbble!!!

I asked because, although not a specialist, that doesn't look like a 747 to me.

Should have added a banana for scale, who measures with Corollas?

[pianopraze]

You all are making me miss ATS where I could grab then upload any pic.

I don’t have any image hosting sites to which I can upload the pics. And if DI has such I don’t know where or how to add.  

Those are only two pics I found on Reddit I could just past the links and work in here.  I did find all the pics and video on Twitter and post links. I also posted link to upload site that had them for download that I linked.

Please do go look at the good photos/video in the links.

You can! Here: https://denyignorance.com/misc.php?page=uploader
Or click the "Upload" link at the top of the page.

There's a size limit, and as far as I know there's no way to upload video, but it works great for images.
