Anybody ever been intercepted by UFO before?

I was wondering what the correct procedure would be? I have read through the interception procedures but yet to see what happens if intercepted by potential flying saucers? Has this happened to anybody and what should I do?

A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...

Standard procedure upon interception by extra-terrestrial UFO is to quickly lose peripheral vision, then experience grey-out alternating with blinding strobe lights leading to complete visual failure combined with near-pain-threshold white noise and brown-note subsonics wiping out your hearing as well - then rapid loss of consciousness............time passes............and then you wake up lying face-down in the rain in a field 48 hours later, 30 miles away from your last-known position, with a blinding headache, missing half of your clothes and with the horrible suspicion that you've been subject to unlawful interference, reinforced by the discovery that your boxer-shorts are now on back-to-front.

That being said, I gather much the same effect can be had by combining Newcastle nightclubs, Newcastle Brown Ale, and Tequila.

No, although there are plenty of mental retards who think they have.

May the force be with you...

I don't see what the footage of a metal button suspended too close to focus on with the special "shaky hand cam" has to do with the question. Especially as when the vapour trails are so clear. The only thing UFO about that is, that it is unidentified.

Standard procedure is to turn away from London, hope you don't get shot down and hand your licence in to the CAA.

If over European airspace will they be required to comply with EASA regs for 3 country aircraft operating in European airspace.
Where would the legal operator be based?

Why would aliens want to fly low level over the USA? I think we can assume their telescopes are better than ours. None of the caught on camera UFOs seem to have windows for mk 1 eyeball.

It would never happen over here.

You are only ever likely to be intercepted by alien UFO if flying in Nevada.

You will then be destined to sit the rest of your days in the corner of a dusty roadside diner. Recounting your tale to anyone who enters

Indeed. Tenuous aviation link, but the rather rubbishy soft-porn movie Au Pair Girls, which features the lovely Gabriella, opens with some period shots of airliners landing at London Airport. Look carefully and you can spot the wreckage of the Trident (which had been struck by an Airspeed Ambassador after it suffered asymmetric flap failure) being removed from what is now Terminal One.

Had it happen plenty of times in my previous life. Don't remember much details, regretfully, still it seems it always happened in class Sierra spacespace. Nothing to worry, with my Sierra-mode transponder. Must have been just interesting mind-turners, to keep the pencil sharp; gently offered by the powers-that-be-there.

For purely aviation minded ppruners a quick search on YouTube will reveal the veracity of BEagle's observation: a very interesting film of "classics" arriving at Heathrow

I did not realise the film genre deceptively offered so much fascinating detail.

My personal thanks BEagle for this information which will of course mean further research is necessary
