Fighter Pilot Ordered to Unleash Rockets at UFO

Posted by Alex in Paranormal, Weapons & War on October 20, 2008 at 2:56 pm


Half a decade century ago, US Air Force fighter pilot Milton Torres got the order he’ll never forget: fire all rockets on a UFO flying over England! Here’s the story:

On the night of May 20 1957, Dr Torres, then aged 25, was on standby at RAF Manston in Kent when he received an urgent order to scramble.

He was told to intercept a UFO with "very unusual flight patterns" over East Anglia that ground radar operators had been tracking for some time.

It was so cloudy he could not see anything, but the object showed up clearly on his radar as similar in size to a B-52 bomber. He was then ordered to fire a full salvo of 24 rockets at the object – something that came as a sobering shock to him. But before he could carry out this instruction the UFO suddenly darted off and disappeared from his scope in a matter of seconds.

The next day a man claiming to be from the US National Security Agency threatened him with losing his flying status if he told anyone what happened.

Dr Torres, now 77 and living in Miami, Florida, said he was flying at about Mach 0.92, while the UFO was travelling at over Mach 10.

    I was interested in this for a moment, until I clicked the link and found it was from the British Daily Mail. In any other country, this paper would be called a "supermarket tabloid". Witness Darren Stevens, from the Mail's own comment thread:

    "Depending on what and who you read, Jesus was an alien, if indeed he existed at all. So was Moses. They were reptilian - check them out."

    I rest my case.

    I'm pretty sure it happened half a century ago and not half a decade ago ;)

    The news story I read on Reuters mentioned the radar showed something the size of an aircraft carrier in the air.

    Also: "UFO expert David Clarke said the sighting may have been part of a secret U.S. project to create phantom aircraft on radar screens to test Soviet air defences."

    It's good thing he didn't shoot it down. For all we know we could've started a war with the Aliens!

    ...the story is complete nonsense, with not a single verifiable fact provided.

    There is probably a very simple and natural explanation for this. Probably a german WW1-zeppeliner slipping through a time hole or something like that.

    Can you write a disclaimer before the post when you found it in the Daily Mail?

    Shouldn't have to write disclaimers on stories about UFOs. Most rational people will get it. Otherwise, just follow the damn link!
