Hi everyone, I want to share one of the most compelling UFO incidents in Turkish aviation history involving a retired military pilot and multiple witnesses. On September 5, 1975, during a flight from Kayseri to Diyarbakır, a pilot and his entire crew of eight people encountered a massive unidentified object near the Nuh and Ak Mountains. What started as a small plate-like glow grew to the size of a 30-40 story building as it approached. Despite the clear visual contact, ground control confirmed there was absolutely no traffic appearing on the radar in that area.
The pilot and his crew flew in formation with this object for about 25 minutes. At one point, the craft changed shape into an ellipse and appeared to open up from the center. As they passed alongside it, the pilot realized the scale was staggering, estimating a total diameter of 3 to 4 kilometers with dark structures visible inside the glow.
The event was officially confirmed when the aircraft entered the Malatya control zone. The controller asked if they had seen anything because local governors and district officials from Elazığ and Erzincan were already calling in. They reported that the public was in a state of excitement after witnessing a massive, multicolored glowing object passing over their region. This case is significant because it involves a seasoned military crew and synchronized reports from high-level government officials on the ground. It leaves us wondering what kind of technology could be that massive yet remain invisible to 1970s radar.

First of all, let me say this: I cannot imagine a pilot in the military who would experience hallucinations. We are individuals who are constantly under medical and psychological supervision.
It was September 5th, 1975, in Kayseri. I took off from Kayseri around 8:00 or 9:00 PM, heading towards Diyarbakır at 13,000 feet under VFR conditions. The weather was beautiful, crystal clear, and the stars were out. I looked up and saw the full moon, then I looked down and saw another ‘full moon’ below. There was an object of the same size as the full moon. After observing it alone for about 4 to 5 minutes around the Nurhak Mountains, I pressed the call button and summoned my co-pilot. I said, ‘Come here, let me show you a flying saucer.’
My friend came and his eyes widened in shock. I told him to inform the others in the back, and we became 8 witnesses in total. The object was below our altitude. Initially, it was about the size of a plate, but it began to grow. It grew so much over time that it looked like a 30 or 40-story building. It became a massive silhouette and started approaching us. We began to feel anxious inside.
I tried to change course towards the right, towards Maraş. We turned off our lights. I contacted radar and said, ‘There is traffic in front of us, can you identify it?’ They replied, ‘No sir, there is no traffic in front of you.’ The ‘traffic’ grew into a massive, village-sized mass coming towards us. Imagine a crystal clear, pure white mass of that size. A short while later, it started changing direction. I began to see an elliptical shape. Then, it started opening up from the center.
This encounter lasted for about 20 minutes. When it moved to our left, it appeared as a perfect circle with a diameter of 3 to 4 kilometers. You could see the stars through it, but there were dark shapes inside that we couldn’t quite make out. As we passed by it, I entered the Malatya control zone and needed permission to enter. The controller asked, ‘Sir, have you seen a celestial object in the air?’ He said that Governors and District Governors from Elazığ, Maden, and Erzincan were calling because the public was in a state of excitement.
They were asking about an unidentified object passing through, emitting colorful lights. I replied, ‘We’ve been flying in formation with it for half an hour,’ just as a joke. ‘Flying in formation’ means flying side-by-side, but we had passed each other.”
