Well you can certainly tell that it is a slow news day when this is a major headline on some of the news sites that I hit. Is it a UFO or an unusual aircraft? Somebody needs to call Agents Muldur and Scully...or Torchwood...obviously the Cardiff police don't know what to do and can't get their story straight anyhow but had to say something since a tabloid reported them as a source...I'm still wondering who the "relevent authorities" are that the Welsh police reported this incident to...Dr. Who maybe?
I BELIEVE
This from Brietbart.com:
UFO alert: Welsh police spot 'unusual aircraft'
Jun 20 11:13 AM US/Eastern
UFO enthusiasts got a boost Friday when Welsh police confirmed that one of their helicopter crews had spotted an "unusual aircraft" flying over Cardiff earlier this month. An investigation into the sighting had been launched, they said.
The police clarification came after The Sun reported a UFO had "attacked" a police helicopter, following it for several miles over the Bristol Channel. "The pilot banked sharply to avoid being hit, then launched into a high-speed pursuit. But he was forced to give up the chase as the helicopter's fuel ran low -- and the UFO escaped," the tabloid reported. The helicopter crew had described the object as "flying saucer-shaped and circled by flashing lights," it added.
"Err... " not so, said the police.
"South Wales Police can confirm its air support unit sighted an unusual aircraft. This was reported to the relevant authorities for their investigation," police said in a brief statement, avoiding the use of the term 'UFO', or unidentified flying object.
At the time of the incident, the helicopter with three men on board was waiting to land at the St Athan RAF base near Cardiff. The sighting reportedly took place at 00:40 am (23:40 GMT) on June 8.
South Wales Police denied there was a pursuit and indicated that the helicopter crew was never in any danger.

We'll be flying first class soon. Instead of just flapping our wings.
