Alien Lore 57 - UFO Crash During The First Iraq War

This posting from "a high level source" appears on numerous UFOlogy BBSs and websites. The original, of course, WAS IN ALL CAPS, which I converted with a handy text editor called NoteTab Pro. This item was posted on an British amateur radio packet bulletin board "for world wide consumption." It is, shall we say, lean on details. The author, who appears to have been an eye-witness, never makes clear his nationality, exactly who "the Colonel" or "Petrokov" were, or what his relationship was to them.


DESERT STORM UFO
ALLEGEDLY SHOT DOWN

A high level source has revealed that an American Air Force F16 gunned down a UFO over Saudi Arabia during the "oration Desert Storm" war. Five nations are trying to cover up the encounter. I don't know all the details but I'm sure that when [garbled]. . .

The Saudis with me were so frightened that they asked American, British and French investigators to come to the crash site immediately.

The Colonel says he was visiting in Riyadh at the time and that he and a small Russian team were able to inspect the wreckage before American forces from Desert Storm arrived.

The craft was circular and made of a material I've never seen before, he says. About a third of it seemed to be missing--possibly blown away by the American missiles. The saudis wouldn't let us touch anything, but we saw instruments, machinery and other things that completely baffled us, he says. The markings on instrument panels and dials were not in any language he was familiar with. It seemed to be a relatively small craft, maybe 15 feet across, he says.

There were three chairs, probably for crew members, but they were so small they seemed to have been made for children. Evidently space aliens are only about three feet tall. Most amazing, though, is the fact that there were no bodies at the crash site, nor did there appear to be an engine in the craft.

The American missiles may have scored a direct hit on the engine, causing it to disintegrate, he says. ButIi checked with the Saudi radar technicians and they claim their instruments didn't show anyone ejecting or bailing out from the craft. Search helicopters were all over the area, which is a desert, and they did not spot any survivors in the vicinity of the crash.

During interviews with the radar technicians, Petrokov was told that the blip identified as the UFO appeared out of nowhere as four F16s were streaking toward Baghdad. One of the American planes broke from formation and headed for the UFO, he says. The alien craft started started moving southwest, away from the F16, and the American pilot gave chase. When the F16 was within three miles, the alien craft seemed to fire something at the plane but missed. The American then fired two missiles. Both hit the saucer. There was a teriffic explosion, and then the crash. When American investigators arrived, Petrokov says, he and his team were immediately ordered out of the area and flown back to Riyadh.

There were things they didn't want us to see--more, I think, than the fact that the craft was circular, that there were no survivors and that it was made of a foreign substance, he says.

Petrokov says members of his team were able to sneak pictures without the knowledge of the Saudis or Americans, but he was ordered to turn them over to Russian authorities the next day.

Petrokov says American Army engineers gathered up all debris and carted it away for shipment to the U.S.
