One incident involved David Hastings, a British pilot pictured to the left, who, along with his co-pilot, David Paterson, was flying a Cessna Skymaster plane over the Mojave Desert in America on Sept. 9, 1985.
âWe were sitting there enjoying the sunshine when we both suddenly saw this speck out on the horizon at our 12 oâclock position,â Hastings told HuffPost.
âThis speck suddenly grew extremely quickly until we saw this huge shadow go over the top of us,â he recounted. âBut the most amazing thing about it was there was no noise and absolutely no movement or turbulence at all. We looked at each other, saying, âWhat the hell was that?’â
At that point, both pilots felt that something was in the air off the port (left) side of their plane, but they couldnât see anything there. They agreed that they were able to sense something moving outside.
Hastings walked to the back of the plane, grabbed his camera and returned to the cockpit where he snapped two pictures out the window. All he was able to see in the camera viewfinder was the left wing of the plane and the ground below.
It was only after they returned to San Francisco and got the pictures developed that they knew theyâd encountered something extraordinary.
âOne picture showed what we expected to see â the aircraft wing and the ground,â said Hastings. âBut in the second one, there was this [cigar-shaped] thing. We were both convinced that it was not a manmade object.
âSeveral pilots have seen UFOs in England, so it didnât surprise me, but I was surprised that we actually got a picture of it.â
Hastings recalls that, although he wasnât frightened by the object, he was mostly concerned about the initial encounter with it and the possibility of a mid-air collision. No hoax was ever determined in this case, which remains unexplained to this day.
Why do aviation officials avoid talking about UFOs? In the UK, Clarke suggests itâs something that could result in bad publicity.
âDonât forget, this is a commercial operation and the aircrew are very reluctant to file a report because the airline companies donât want them answering questions about things that arenât part of the corporate image.â
