Top-secret US military files have revealed that an American aircraft encountered a metallic triangular UFO at around 25,000ft over the eastern Mediterranean, between Greece and Turkey, during a flight back to base, according to newly declassified documents. The incident, logged at an altitude of 24,989ft and a speed of 168 knots, was formally recorded as an unidentified flying object and locked under a 'Secret/NOFORN' classification, barring it from being shared even with close allies.
After a sweeping declassification push ordered by then-President Donald Trump, which triggered a mass review of tens of millions of records dating back to the Second World War. Buried in that paper avalanche was an official report of this mid-air encounter above a region better known to British travellers for package holidays and cruise stops than for unexplained aerial phenomena. The sighting took place over a corridor of sky not far from sun-soaked Greek islands and Turkish resort towns, although the precise coordinates are not disclosed.
