back to article UFO fleet menaces east London

The Sun has mobilised a crack team of hacks and ufologists to probe a sensational sighting of a formation of extraterrestrial vehicles swooping over the mean streets of Bethnal Green: UFO fleet seen on Street View A close-up view of the Street View UFO fleet "Baffled" expert Nick Pope, who apparently "used to …

    Google's conspiracy shown at last!

    I think we finally have conclusive proof Google are evil. They are in league with the aliens! ... they have now edited out the alien fleet and replaced the picture with a woman standing in the road.

    ... that and I need to cut back on the coffee.

    “This is definitely the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in Bethnal Green.”

    Not been there long then?

    Get it right.

    From the Sun article

    "“I thought it was some planes but they look pretty close together for that. Maybe they are UFOs.”

    Well done. You can't indentify them and they are flying. That's a UFO. I wish people would stop lazily using this term when what they really mean is Alien Deathforce Squadron.

    Anyhow. I've emailed the Sun with the Telegraph article that shows the 9 planes in formation. Reckon they'll print it?

    >> Only two reasonable explainations left:-

    >> 1 Radio Controlled UFO formation Flying team

    >> 2 Small fleet of real (yet tiny) UFOs.

    You are a complete and utter buffoon.

    A closer look

    Looks like some of the planes here

    Aeroplanes

    Search for "1 jersey Street london" and look up. Looks like some formation fly-by to me. The large plane in front is probably a C-17 Globemaster.

    Pulled pic

    The guy is still giving the finger in the pic just south of that one...

    And why shouldn't UFOs fly information?

    Virtually everyone else is doing IT. Most are doing it unconsciously - but is folly ever an excuse for knavery? I think not.

    Listen to the hyperspace(wo)man inside of you.

    Too soon to tell

    Maybe this was posted a day too early?

    Obviously UFOs

    These are UFOs. Let's be clear - these objects seem to be flying, and have not yet been definitively identified. Ergo, they clearly are unidentified flying objects.

    Doesn't mean they are alien spacecraft.

    Black helicopters, because if you look at those pics sideways and squint a bit ...

  14. ned

    That's no UFO

    Not UFOs. Red Arrows - diamond nine formation that was the first thing I thought of looking at this picture.

    C'mon people it is clear to see that these are...

    Plain ol' chinooks flying in formation.

    If anyone has ever been under the flightpath of a couple of those twin-rotor monsters, they'll understand why everyone is looking up. They make a serious deep-bass thunk-thunk. So nine of them would be clearly audible over the traffic and general street noise.

    check out :

    http://www.salthillairshow.com/chinook/2002_photos/chinook_01_small.jpg

    for an example of how they look from a distance.

    Now get back to work.

    Commentards.

    I cant be arsed to read your comments... your explanations are all pointless.

    This is clearly a picture of a squadron of those new mini spherical chinook helicopters printed on a carrier bag tied to a flag pole disguised as a lampost.

    theres no way any of you (whose comments I have not read) are right... deffinatly not!!!1!

    This looks shooped

    I can tell by some of the pixels and by shooping a few whoops in my time.

    I don't belive it!

    RAF Typhoons, diamond 9 formation, flying left to right. The close up clearly shows the direction of travel (based on the fact that the aircraft are staggered vertically as well as in formation) and the delta planform of the aircraft would explain the shapes easily.

    I would say this photo was taken 14th June during the flypast. As for the people watching, well how often do you get a formation of combat jets flying over your high street, it would stop mine!

    I would say Mr Pope had severed his links with the MOD a little too early or he would have known about the event...

    BTW I've seen many strange flying objects in my time but they have all had terrestial serial numbers on their tails. Shame really, I would like to see a genuine unidentifiable flying object.

    Alien

    Clearly UFO's

    These are definitely alien spacecraft - they are clearly casing the planet so they can decide where to start their burglary spree. As someone already mentioned, they are headed for Buckingham Palace.

    At the risk of...

    you lot,

    I have seen objects like this in Sheffield before, one arrived, and was swiftly met by two other 'teams' in triangle formation, 2 teams of three, they lined up around the first one, the hung for a moment, then all sped off in the same direction, with the original object left where it first appeared.

    this then followed a similar course, albeit much slower. then simply disapered halfway to the horizon.

    This was witnessed by three or four people, and we haven't told anyone before, surley to be lambasted as imagining it, etc. from what i saw, they were small, featurless and brilliantly reflective chrome spheres. they did not waiver in the sky, and most deffinatley had controlled vectors.

    birds my fucking anus.
