The Greek government finally revealed a case of UFO sightings that occurred on November 11, 2007. The incident started when the pilot of Olympic Airways 266 departed from Athens to London reported an unidentified flying object (UFO). Other pilots of flight 730 and 770 confirm the same unidentified object. The sightings also detected by the radar of Athen Airport and the object seemed headed to Karystos, a small town on the island of Euboea, Greece. Unfortunately, the mysterious object has disappeared before two F-16 fighter planes that assigned to intercepted it arrive at the destination. On February 2009, document on this subject disclosed to the public, including records of communication between the pilot and the airport officials.
Eyewitnesses describe that the UFO was similar with a big star moves erratically and the shape always changes. Beside the pilot, there was two passengers that also saw the mysterious object.
A spokesman for Olympic Airlines confirm the incident and the Greece authorized officials said it was not detected on any radar. They concluded that the object is probably Planet Venus on the autumn night.
However, later the Greek military confirm that their radar station at the top of Parintha mountains near Athens detected an object moving with extraordinary speed and does not matched with description of any other plane on earth. The staff at the radar station also said that the UFO is very large, it has unusual shape and very bright.
