Default UFO sighted near Isle of Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wkrkup9XCo

British pilots and their passengers saw a very large UFO near the Isle
of Man a few days ago. Interestingly, it was even picked up on Jersey
radar.

The pilot estimates the UFO to be nearly one mile in size.

Did any of your Brits see anything odd in the skies recently?

One mile huh!!! You know, that's amazing!! I've heard nothing exciting ever
happens on the Isle of Mann. Even the cats there spend their whole lives
running around the place looking for a little piece of tail....and they
never seem to find it.

I've got an "Isle of Man" cat at our house... we always tell people
that the tail was cutoff in a door that was slammed on it. Its fun to
watch their response.

I hear they are great cats. Guy down the street has one; he says it sleeps
wrapped around his head like a hat with earmuffs.
I told him this would never do at our house. I'm so used to hearing engine
noises from years of flying that if for some reason during the night, the
cat stopped purring, I'd probably immediately think I had lost an engine and
have a damn heart attack!!

They are great cats. Ours sleeps next to me sometimes, but mostly
with my daughter. They talk to you when they want something (like
going outside), and are very people oriented. Their nickname is "dog
cat" because they don't behave like regular housecats, more like a
dog.

Our cat (not a manx....a Russian Blue) used to "talk" to us as well.
Whenever one of us would come into the room where the cat was, if you made
eye contact with him he'd always and without fail give you one single loud
"meow". That was it..one meow. That was "hello", "glad to see you" "make
sure the bowl is full" and "don't let the door hit you in the butt on the
way out".
Lord how we miss that fur critter. We had him for fifteen years....or he had
us. I've never actually figured out which :-)

That must have been what I saw.

aviation related content I flew myself down south to visit a friend
of a friend some years ago and /aviation related content he had two
cats - one of which knew it was a cat, the other of which must have
been a dog in cat's clothing. The owner spoke to it and it obeyed, just
like a dog. I'd never seen anything like it before, or since.

Smiley accepted, but as someone who lives in the Isle of Man (and
indeed, has an Isle of Man passport) plenty of exciting stuff happens
here. It's the 100th anniversary of the TT motorcycle races this year -
the TT being the best motorcycle road race in the world (and we have
four road racing events, the TT, the Manx GP, the Southern 100, and the
Jurby South).

Other exciting stuff - Saturday, I went flying in the Auster (both for
fun and towing gliders), and we got some wave lift off North Barrule. I
ended up flying through a bit of the rotor, and I thought the plane was
about to go upside down at one point!

No, I didn't see a UFO. Unfortunately, the only unusual event I've seen
here recently is a sport aircraft have a departure stall/spin accident a
week ago :-( (Fortunately both on board survived; the front seat pilot
is smashed up but will live to fly another day, the back seat passenger
(owner of the plane) got away with a broken ankle, sternum and some
bruising. He described impacting perpendicular to the ground. Both are
very very lucky to survive a stall/spin).

You are absolutely right Dylan, and your reply is well taken. When I wrote
this little tidbit I should have read it over a bit better before posting
it. I notice now that the word "even" was a misplaced insertion and totally
unnecessary. The objective of the post was to say something funny about the
cats and was never meant to imply any disrespect to the Isle itself.
The funny thing is that had I left out the word "even", I would have
achieved that perfectly.
Please accept my apology. I'm sure the Isle is an interesting and beautiful
place.

Dang it, Dylan -- what's the local "take" on this story? Two airline
pilots report a mile-wide UFO over your island, and you don't say
"anything" about it?
