Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – A LUFTHANSA ENCOUNTER OVER NEWFOUNDLAND
In 1994, Captain Werner Utter, for many years the chief pilot of Lufthansa, revealed that he had witnessed unknown flying craft on three occasions, the second of which took place while he was flying at 30,000 feet over the Atlantic, off the coast of Newfoundland, on 21 November 1978, at 09.55 GMT ‘It seems we have a flying saucer in sight, very bright, beaming rays, sometimes red, sometimes violet,’ Utter reported to air traffic controllers. ‘It looks like a spider.’
The object, estimated to be 20 to 30 metres in diameter and about a mile in front of the Boeing 747, was also reported by the crew of a Trans World Airlines plane.
A few years later, Captain Utter and his crew witnessed a gigantic cigar- shaped object, while flying over the United Kingdom.
Craft with spidery appendages have been observed elsewhere: for instance, on 10 September 1976, Bill Pecha saw a domed, circular ‘glowing thing’, about 150 feet across, above his house near Colusa, California. On each side hung two pincer-like appendages about eight feet long and six wavy, motionless ‘cables’, with frayed ends, also hanging down. The craft, and some attendant objects, caused a major power blackout in the area.
