AIR investigators are probing sightings of two UFOs off the Channel Islands — one up to a MILE wide.

The huge cigar-shaped objects were reported by pilots on separate flights.

Aurigny airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, saw something strange hovering west of Alderney.

He said: “It was about 40 miles from us. A very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area. It was 2,000ft up and stationary.

“It could have been as much as a mile wide.”

He later spotted an identical object to the west — nearer Guernsey.

Capt Bowyer, a pilot of 20 years, added: “It was visual for nine minutes.

“I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

An unnamed pilot on a Blue Islands airline also saw the objects, which didn’t register on radars.

Air traffic controller Paul Kelly, 31, said the pilots saw the objects from opposite sides on Monday (23 Apr '07) afternoon.
