Finnish Air Force sighting
Finnish Air Force sighting (known in Finland as Porin seitsemän ilmapalloa) is an UFO incident which occurred on April 12, 1969 in Pori and is one of the best officially documented UFO cases of all time. It is the only UFO incident to this day officially acknowledged by the Finnish Air Force.[1][2] Finland's national public broadcasting company, Yle ,Yleisradio Oy (Finnish), literally General Radio or General Broadcast, has confirmed that the incident really happened.[2]
Sighting[edit]
On April 12, 1969 seven yellow disc or ball shaped objects were spotted above Pori airport. Jouko Kuronen from Finnish Defence Forces was on the airfield with his plane when he heard in his radio that overseer of Fouga Magister planes was talking to fighter pilot Tarmo Tukeva. Overseer commanded Tukeva to go see what were those seven air balloons that floated over the airport. Overseer told to Tukeva that their highness were around 1500-3000 meters. Kuronen wanted to see also those objects that overseer was talking about. After taking off he turned his plane to see what was above. He saw seven disc or ball shaped objects and a Fouga Magister which was approaching them. Then Kuronen's own radar spotted the objects and they were also spotted by the ground control. When Tukeva got close enough he also could say that these objects were ball or disc shaped but he could not tell his distance to them when lacking set points. Then objects took formation and accelerated with enormous speed to north from the airport. Strong head wind did not seem to have any effect to their amazingly fast going. Overseer told to Tukeva that he can't reach them and Tukeva who was flying after them with speed of around 435 mph, was left behind like he was not moving at all despite of that how fast he was really flying. The enormous speed of the objects were also proved by the fact they were reported on Vaasa in the same minute that they left the airport.[3][1][2]
The origin of these objects is still unknown.[2]
Ongoing military exercises and nearby water system are traits that this case has in common to other similar cases reported over the world.[1]
