FRENCH UFO EXPERTS PROBE HOLE IN CORNFIELD
|
|
|
|
ROUEN, FRANCE (JULY 11) REUTER - Police and scientists are examining a strange
|
|
dish-like hole in a cornfield in western France amid suggestions it could have
|
|
been caused by an Unidentified Flying Object.
|
|
|
|
Police said on Wednesday they had called in government-paid UFO experts to look
|
|
at a 10-metre (30-foot) wide conically- shaped hole that appeared in a field
|
|
last weekend after farmers reported hearing a loud thud.
|
|
|
|
There was no trace of fire but part of the field appeared to have been
|
|
flattened by a blast.
|
|
|
|
Circles appearing in wheatfields in southern England have baffled scientists
|
|
for years.
|
|
|
|
In Brussels Belgium's air force held a news conference on Wednesday to say its
|
|
radar stations picked up a UFO on March 30 which accelerated from 280 km (175
|
|
miles) an hour to more than 1,800 km (1,125 miles) an hour and altered height
|
|
by more than three km (two miles) in 15 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer said the UFO performed movements which no existing
|
|
airplane was capable of making.
|
|
|
|
Two F-16 fighter jets were sent to investigate after several policemen reported
|
|
seeing a huge dark triangle covered in lights in the sky about 40 km (25 miles)
|
|
south-east of Brussels. The planes chased the object for about 45 minutes and
|
|
made several radar contacts before losing it.
|
|
|
|
De Brouwer told reporters the object could not have been a plane, a balloon, a
|
|
laser beam or a thermic inversion, a meteorological phenomenon which disturbs
|
|
radio waves.
