Pilots report unexplained aerial phenomena over Cyprus during 2023 flight
In 2023, a Dutch airline pilot and five crew members reported witnessing unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) while flying south of Cyprus. The group observed unusual lights displaying maneuvers that resembled a chase or "dogfight" for over two hours. The phenomenon appeared as bright lights, with one moving around the others, before disappearing and reappearing multiple times.
The crew initially considered the lights might be related to military operations over the Balkans, but the phenomenon remained visible even after the flight reached that area. One crew member observed the same lights from the Netherlands the following day, suggesting the phenomena were not confined to a single location.
The European Commission has increased efforts to monitor UAP sightings across the continent, though there is currently no evidence linking these phenomena to extraterrestrial activity. France remains the only EU country with a government-funded centre dedicated to investigating such reports.
