2007 Alderney UFO Sighting

In the afternoon of 23 April 2007, Ray Bowyer, a pilot for the airline Aurigny flying south towards the island of Alderney in the Channel Islands, sighted unidentified flying objects. He reported the sighting to an air traffic controller, who told him that a second pilot had seen something similar. In Bowyer's report to the British Civil Aviation Authority, he said he saw two bright, stationary objects.

Two passengers on Bowyer's aircraft said that they saw unusual coloured lights at the same time. Proposed explanations for the sighting have included earthquake lights and sun dogs.
