Pilots to Tell Their UFO Stories for the First Time
November 12th Group to call on US Government to Re-Open its Investigation

The
American public is not alone when it comes to sighting what the US Air
Force has labeled Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). So too have
former governors, high level military and government officials, highly
trained airplane pilots and aviation experts. The phenomenon is real.
It happens worldwide. No one is sure about its nature. Experts from
seven countries will divulge what they have discovered about UFOs at a
November 12 panel discussion moderated by former Arizona Governor Fife
Symington (R) at the National Press Club.
Just one year ago,
pilots, mechanics and managers from United Airlines witnessed a
metallic disc-shaped object hovering over the United Airlines Terminal
at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. The clearly observed object shot straight
up leaving a hole through the clouds. Despite the clear aviation safety
issues involved, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) never
investigated the incident and dismissed it as weather. This
head-in-the-clouds refusal to investigate stands in sharp contrast to
efforts by governments of other countries to understand these incidents.
"I
believe that our government should take an active role in investigating
this very real phenomenon," said Symington, who was a witness to the
famed 'Phoenix Lights" incident seen by hundreds in Arizona while he
was governor. "This panel consists of some of the most qualified people
in the world with direct experience in dealing with this issue, and
they will bring incredible, irrefutable evidence, some never presented
before, that we simply cannot dismiss or ignore," he said.
The
group, using previously classified documents, will discuss many
well-documented cases, including two investigated by the US government.
The first involves a Peruvian Air Force pilot who fired many rounds at
a UFO which was not affected. The second was an Iranian Air Force
pilot's attempt to fire at a UFO, but whose control panel became
inoperable. "This case is a classic that meets all the necessary
conditions for a legitimate study of the UFO phenomenon," stated the US
Defense Intelligence Agency document on the Tehran incident. Both
pilots will come forward to speak about these events publicly for the
first time.

Representatives from France, England, Belgium, Chile, Peru, Iran and
