Statement made by UK Pilot

A UK pilot had a near miss with a UFO while over-flying the Mohave Desert. "The object English pilot David Hastings saw as he flew his Cessna plane over the Mojave Desert in America came within a few feet of a mid-air collision," said MegaStar. "David quickly snapped two color photos as he and an ex American military pilot dove frantically to avoid the oval-shaped spaceship." The object they saw was described as a huge, fast moving, saucer-like aircraft with black rings around the top and bottom. Hastings said he was under radar control, but that air traffic controllers reported nothing unusual on

their radar and no other craft in the Cessna's vicinity. "As we neared the Mojave Desert under radar control it happened. We both suddenly realized that we had fast traffic in our 12 o'clock (straight ahead)," Hastings reported. "We pushed the control panel and ducked. A shadow flashed over us but there was absolutely no sound. We slowly raised our heads and asked: 'What the heck?'" Hastings

said when they developed film of the encounter, "one shot had nothing, but the second had a blurred image of the UFO." He gave a copy to the Navy, which MegaStar said "is completely baffled." The account is also published in the current issue of Pilot magazine.
