Request
Further to a my previous request in regards the UAP phenomenon, which is a global issue now, please provide the report made by the pilot [name redacted], and an explanation as to why police authorities were not involved, as our air space is a national security and safety issue especially after the 9/11 attacks.
I am in contact with International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER) in regards to the Channel Islands and the lights in the sky out at Gorey, these are not the only sightings but just a breakdown in communication in the Jersey system.
A
Please provide a copy of [name redacted] sighting in his report and the passengers who also witnessed the incident.
Surely transparency is needed on this matter and a better reporting procedure in place.
There have been 63 reports in US air space alone in February of vehicles traveling at high speed of unknown origin confirmed by NASA.
B
How many reports are Jersey Air Traffic Control in possession of?
