London: Pilots on a passenger plane recently spotted an unexplained “human UFO” or “flying man” at 3,500ft above the Cheshire countryside, it has been reported.
Aviation experts said that the ” flying man” dubbed as the Superman of Macclesfield, appeared from nowhere as the Airbus 320 passed the Cheshire town while it was coming in to land at Manchester Airport, the Mirror reported.
The pilot and first officer, who reported the sighting to air traffic control, thought the man was a paraglider but could not see a canopy. And the mystery deepened when there was no sign of him on radar.
The experts from the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association said weather conditions at the time would have made it impossible for a lone flyer to be in the area.
The report concluded that the board agreed it was unfortunate that there was really no information that could lead to identifying the unknown object.
