Czech airfield: Officers encounter huge rotating UAP
Czech Air Force officers driving to an airfield saw a silent sapphire band at low altitude, causing their car to stall. Airfield staff reported a large flaming ball that turned sharply and was radar-tracked.
Background
Witnesses and Incident
At 20:00, commander Duchoň and officer Bezák of the Czech air force were driving to an airfield to supervise night flying. About 10 kilometres away, their car's engine faltered.
Sighting and Effects
A fast, luminous blue band suddenly appeared at 500–800 metres altitude, entirely without sound. After a few minutes the engine started again.
Confirmation at the Airfield
There, staff reported a rotating fiery object that flew a 90-degree turn and crossed the site. The tower located it on radar at 900 metres on its second pass; it measured around 150 metres across with a glowing ring.
Significance
Military witnesses, the effect on the engine, and radar data make this a strong case from behind the Iron Curtain.
