Ankara, Turkey: Four Days of UFO Sightings, Turkish Air Force Scrambles Interceptors, Gun Camera Film
From October 24-27, 1969, Turkey's capital Ankara was inundated with UFO sightings. The Turkish Air Force repeatedly scrambled interceptors from Murtad Air Base. The base commander himself flew along and reported an oval, silvery object at 50,000 feet with three round portholes. Interceptors took gun-camera film, which was never released.
Background
For four days, Turkey's capital Ankara was inundated with sightings. The Turkish Air Force repeatedly scrambled interceptors from Murtad Air Base. The jets would close to within several miles, but the unknowns always climbed higher to escape.
Base Commander's Report
After days of cat-and-mouse, the base commander himself flew along. His report afterward noted that an object at 50,000 feet was oval and silvery, with three round portholes on the facing side. He added that no other country's traffic was in the area at the time and no prototype was under test. The interceptors took gun-camera film, which was never released.
