I know a lot of Pakistanis don't believe in the existence of UFOs or aliens but could the nation's latest tragedy be caused by an UFO?
Well according to some unconfirmed reports that's what happened. Reports have suggested that the apparent cause of the
deadly Bhoja Air's Boeing 737-200 crash in Islamabad could have been due to a UFO
sighting by the pilot.
A
Russian news report by 1TV.RU covering the crash (which was also posted on YouTube) incorporates footage
of three mysterious lights moving in formation, leading to a heightened speculation
in the UFO community that extra-terrestrial craft could be blamed for the tragic accident.
According to another source at Gather.com, there
are rumours that the pilot may have been buzzed by the object and
that he complained to the control tower at Islamabad's Benazir airport as he made his
approach.
The object in question (pictured above) seen on the video footage resembles the class of UFO known as the "Black Triangle". Reports generally describe this class of UFOs as enormous, silent, black
triangular objects, hovering or slowly cruising at low altitudes over
cities and highways, usually at night and making no attempt to evade
detection. These objects are often described as having "running lights",
either bright white lights or pulsing coloured lights that appear at
each corner of the triangle. Such lights can be seen in the footage and the frame taken from the footage as well.
The Black Triangle UFOs have been reported numerous times in recent years but never have they been reported as a cause of a crash. They were seen during the 1989-1990 Belgian UFO wave, the 1997 Phoenix Lights incident & January 2000 Illinois incident.
A patrol was sent out to check on these reports but approximately 10 minutes later a second set of lights was sighted moving towards the first triangle. In the meantime the patrol reported in that they confirm the sightings. These unknown objects were even tracked on radar and two F-16s were scrambled from the Beauvechain Air Base.Over the next hour the two scrambled F-16s attempted nine separate interceptions of the targets. On three occasions they managed to obtain a radar lock for a few seconds but each time the targets changed position and speed so rapidly that the lock was broken. During the first radar lock, the target accelerated from 240 km/h to over 1,770 km/h while changing altitude from 2,700 m to 1,500 m, then up to 3,350 m before descending to almost ground level – the first descent of more than 900 m taking less than two seconds. Similar manoeuvres were observed during both subsequent radar locks. On no occasion were the F-16 pilots able to make visual contact with the targets and at no point, despite the speeds involved, was there any indication of a sonic boom.

Black triangles are often the subject of much speculation in the 'ufology community' and various conspiracy theories, as well as more skeptical hypotheses. Common explanations include:
- craft of extra-terrestrial origin,
- top-secret military aircraft containing suppressed or reverse-engineered anti-gravity technology (and could this anti-gravity be the cause of the 737 loosing altitude and crashing),
- misidentifications of one or more conventional aircraft such as B-2 Spirit stealth bomber or another black project aircraft similar to the retired F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter ( the turbulence wake by the aircraft could have lead to the sudden loss of control of Bhoja airliner).
In the end all I would like to say is that its all open. What if its true? What if it was a UFO that brought the plane down? Or was it an American stealth spy plane roaming around Islamabad violating our airspace undertaking some sinister agenda or another secret mission like the OBL capture?
