Ahmet Özcan

My name is Ahmet and I come from Ankara, Turkey. I've spent much of my life in the cockpit of a fighter jet, serving with NATO. Years of training flights, missions, and maneuvers filled my days, but one particular flight over the Mediterranean Sea lingers in my mind, a memory that refuses to fade.

We were on a routine training mission, a formation of several fighter jets slicing through the clear blue sky. Suddenly, an object appeared alongside me. It was enormous, oval-shaped, and eerily smooth like a huge white TicTac. It had no windows, no wings, no engine. Yet, it matched our speed effortlessly, moving with an agility that defied physics. It zipped beside us, then accelerated at an incredible pace, zigzagging in a way no human-made craft could. In a heartbeat, it plunged into the sea and vanished without a trace.

Stunned, I radioed my colleagues, hoping to confirm I wasn’t hallucinating. They had all seen it too and briefly recorded it on the radar. Back on the ground, our supervisor listened to our report with a grave expression. We were ordered to keep silent about the incident. The next day, top generals arrived, questioning us in detail. We handed over our notes and were reminded of our duty to maintain confidentiality. No explanations were given.

Years have passed since that day. Now, at 46, I'm confronted with a dilemma. One of my former colleagues has been contacted by an international television crew. They’re making a documentary about UFOs and want to know if we’ve seen anything unusual. Two of my colleagues are ready to break their silence, and I'm contemplating doing the same. I have a copy of the camera and radar recordings from that day, evidence that has remained hidden for too long.

I see no harm in revealing the truth. People deserve to know that there are strange objects in our skies, likely of extraterrestrial origin. Perhaps, one day, we will make direct contact with these visitors from another world. Maybe such contact has already happened, cloaked in secrecy. As I weigh my decision, I can't shake the feeling that the truth must come out. The world needs to know that we are not alone.
