Hurriyet Daily News reports that the UFO was seen around Istanbul's Silivri district.

"An unidentified object with green lights passed 2 to 3,000 feet above us," the two pilots told the Air Traffic Control Center at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport. "Then it disappeared all of a sudden. We are guessing that it was a UFO."

The plane landed at Atatürk Airport 30 minutes later.

Scott C. Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, wrote: "Many pilots are scared to talk about it due to ridicule and worry that their job security would be called into question. You can't get a more experienced expert at UFOs than a pilot himself, who flies daily and has to take care of his crew and passengers safety."
