The passenger jet liner sped along the runway
taking off on a long haul flight
all checks had been completed as it rose higher
reaching its cruising height safely
autopilot switched on heading over the ocean
everything seemed in perfect motion!
The passengers were given their meal and drinks
before settling down to try and sleep
a calm and pleasant night the crew had little to do
but watch the many instruments
the cabin staff were on call to give any assistants
to travelers during the long distance.
Three hours into the flight the captain was alerted
spotting a glowing object ahead
informing his co-pilot who observed and cabin crew
at first just a bright ball of light
then started doing aerobatics neither had seen before
soon was joined by two more!
Watching disbelieving at this incredible flying display
certainly an unknown type of craft
manoeuvred instantly together the three became one
now turning on a collision course
their large plane could not turn out of the UFO’s way
with them no longer wanted to play!
Tense as it came towards them at supersonic speed
just missing the port side wing
so they thought until a loud metal crunching bang
the two craft had actually collided
this caused the plane to shudder and soon after stall
struggling to prevent its final fall!
They could see sparks the mysterious object was gone
as the plane was hard to control
gliding downwards the fear it would hit the sea below
putting out a Mayday as it fell
with skill and experience the engines were restarted
this incident not for the fainthearted!
Soon they received an answer from a naval base nearby
on an island only an hour away
heading there quickly as they dare glad they were alive
passengers shaken but no series injuries
relieved when it touchdown on tarmac with no more trouble
soon were evacuated at the double!
Though it was dark were able to see because of the floodlights
a huge dent on the nose cone
as if it had been hit in a head on collision with a solid object
everybody present were stunned
a passenger took a picture of the damage section unseen
before they went inside to reconvene!
It would be some wait as another aircraft had to come
questions avoided about what happened
the crew were ushered away and were not seen again
frustrations arose with no answers given
on their return reporters keen to know what occurred
the authorities response was differed!
The truth never officially confirmed not even by the airlines
but the photo existed and was produced
and clearly it was visible for anybody to see it was proof
yet once again officials stayed aloof!
An investigation and facts once again to the public denied!
