Bremen UFO 'looked like a plane but was louder'


UPDATE: An unidentified flying object which ruined the travel plans of passengers at Bremen airport on Monday night looked like a plane but was a lot louder, according to eyewitnesses.


The airport said on Monday night that the UFO showed up on its radar several times over three hours from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.
Police said in a statement that they were alerted at 6.30pm about a UFO over Bremen and a patrol car also saw the object.
A police helicopter was sent up to try and find the UFO but could not, although the Weser Kurier newspaper reported it could be seen through binoculars from the airport's traffic control tower.
The helicopter search was called off at 8.45pm, according to the police statement.
Officers are now investigating the case on grounds of unauthorized intrusion into controlled air space.

A spokeswoman for German Air Traffic Control (DFS) said: “It had normal lights, red and green, and an approach light on both sides," the Weser Kurier reported.
Eyewitness Dominique Höber told the paper the object was flying at between 100 and 200 metres and passed over his house four times.
“It looked like a plane,” he said. “It had lights but was a lot louder.”

A flight from Frankfurt had to be cancelled and a second flight from Munich was diverted to Hannover.
Another plane coming from Paris had to stay airborne for a while before it could land.
A Bremen police spokesman said. “We still don’t know what it was, but it was there.” Possible explanations are that it was a drone or a balloon-like aircraft.
On Sunday in the town of Zwickau, Saxony, an initially unidentified aircraft landed on a field behind a house.
Hours later it turned out to be a remote-controlled model airship.

A UFO has caused major flight delays and even caused one to be cancelled in Germany.

The mystery aircraft was spotted on radars at Bremen Airport between 4:30pm and 9:30pm local time on Tuesday.
A police helicopter was scrambled to try and find out exactly what was causing the delays.
But authorities admit they still don't know what the unidentified aircraft was.

A spokesperson for German Air Traffic Control (DFS) told the Weser Kurier: “It had normal lights, red and green, and an approach light on both sides."

Eyewitness Dominique Höber told the same newspaper the object passed over his house four times.

He said: “It looked like a plane, it had lights but was a lot louder.”

A flight from Frankfurt had to be cancelled while another from Munich had to be diverted to another airport.

Bremen police and authorities have confirmed that a UFO flew over the German city and passed within 300 metres of the Werder stadium at 6:30 pm on Tuesday evening.

The incident forced the closure of the airspace over the city in northern Germany for approximately three hours, during which time the object appeared and disappeared on the airport radars.

The event led to several delayed flights and a police spokesman stated, "There was something there, but we don't know what it was." The entire German press has been reporting on the unexplained incident.

It moves at the Bremen sky and lights . But it is still unclear what has hampered air traffic in the Hanseatic city. The unknown something to have had normal position lights . For UFO researcher Werner Walter , there is a simple explanation .

A UFO has triggered in Bremen police investigation for dangerous interference with aviation. The unidentified flying object ( UFO ) disabled on Monday evening to work on the Airport in Bremen , a flight was diverted , another deleted. Also on the day after that was still unclear to what exactly it was at the UFO.

A pilot in the Bremer Tower had noticed a flicker on Monday evening on the radar and then saw a flying bit . " It had position lights , normal , red, green , on each side of a landing light ," said the spokeswoman of the German air traffic control, Anja Naumann, on Tuesday . The police informed , according to spokesman Nils Matthiesen immediately all patrol cars . A short time later, reported two officers who were just near the Weser stadium on the go. They saw a shining , helicopter like object.
Ufo also the cathedral

The Flying Something whirred , according to the first air traffic control around in the approach area of the airport. "After the object has withdrawn towards the city ," she said. It was also spotted over the Dome. Currently is not even clear whether it was a manned or unmanned object.

At the airport a machine from Munich was for safety reasons redirected to Hanover , coated on one flight from Frankfurt, a flier from Paris had to wait a short time in the air before he could land . " All in all, it took two hours and then the nightmare was over."

Where did the flying object came from and what it was exactly , is so far completely open. Neither a requested from Lower Saxony police helicopter nor a ground patrol could find something on Monday evening . Also the reason why it flared up on the radar briefly, is still unclear . " It was either too small or - what I do not want to insinuate now - it was actively suppressed ," said the spokeswoman for air traffic control.
Now also detects the police

The police are investigating a dangerous procedure in aviation. "This is a crime and can be punished by a fine or up to five years in prison ," said police spokesman Matthiesen . For the examination of the officials have to rely on witnesses. "Who has seen rising an object Who has photos? " , All are important questions.

The case is something new for police and air traffic control. "This did not exist in this form ," Matthiesen said. It would indeed spotted from time to time objects in the sky , but such effects have not yet announced it .
UFO researchers provides explanation

From the perspective of the Mannheim UFO explorer Walter Werner , there is a simple natural explanation . In his estimation, the trigger is a so-called radar angels, as Walter the dpa news agency said. "If radar signals are sent out , then break the somewhere , at the high-rise, on the tree , or God knows where - . , And make up for false signals"

These alleged sightings UFO researcher Walter believes in hysteria. " When radar angels as such nothing appears , but in times of hysteria everything is interpreted . " That was nothing unusual in sightings of mysterious flying objects .

The German press has loads of stories but this none of them seem to mention a balloon, only one 'UFO expert' who claims it was fake return of radar (see above). What were people seeing then? 23 witnesses have come forward, the police saw it, the guy in the conning tower saw it, there is a photo and now a video. Bild created a nice timeline of the event. Will be interesting to see how this develops.
It seems two days later the police and the authorities still do not know what is was.

Good article here speaks again about how the radar operator saw 'a flash' on the screen.
If it was a model aircraft is doubtful it would have shown up on the radar it would be to small.
Also the crew of the police helicopter sent up to investigate saw 'a non illuminated object'

For joint research on the UFO sighting at Bremen airport boundary Science News Exopolitics Germany and met with inconsistencies and previously unknown details .

By Robert Fleischer and Andreas Müller

(Leipzig / Saarbrücken ) Hardly a UFO sighting in recent years has taken care in Germany for so much attention as the sighting of a strange object on the evening of 6 January on the Bremen airport . Due to the many different testimonies and partly conflicting messages in the media , we decided to investigate together , and even to contact you in order to reconstruct a clear picture of the incidents (where we quote the relevant authorities and institutions from other sources, is separately noted ) .

It turns out : Obvious, but something was seen on the radar - and the search of the police helicopter was probably not quite as unsuccessful as shown by the police.

18:09 clock :

The air traffic controller in the control tower at the airport Bremen noticed a strange signal on its primary radar - it refers to an object that is 3 nautical miles ( 5.5 km) south of the runway is staying. Then, the air traffic controller inspects the object visually without binoculars from the tower . It seems quite normal red and green position lights as well to have on each side of a landing light . Since the object is located near the approach zone of the airport , is the coming of Munich Lufthansa LH2114 machine whose arrival is scheduled for 18:25, initially asked to cancel and durchzustarten the landing process . " The pilot told us that we are on a collision course with a helicopter , the unlit and flies under the radar ," said one of the passengers on board Flight LH recalls 2114 interview with the Weser Kurier . (Source: Weser Kurier)

Twice needs to start the machine , then decides to air traffic control, redirect them to Hanover . For safety of the air traffic for 15 minutes will be set . The air traffic controller in the control tower observed the object for several minutes as it distances itself from Endanflugbereich the airport 3.5 nautical miles south moves the Weser towards the east, apparently along the railway or the Weser , and then gradually withdraws north-northeast direction . Then he loses sight of it . (Source: Anja Naumann , spokeswoman air traffic control Bremen)

18:30 clock :

The air traffic controller has once visual contact with the flying object . Now it is over the Klinikum Bremen -Mitte. Because he feared that the object could return , the air traffic controller notifies the police. (Source: Anja Naumann, DFS Bremen)

These shall immediately on the track , alerted the police car in use . Around this time, sift police officers a patrol in the area of the cathedral or the Weser stadium a strange flying object . They describe it as " very bright " , about the size of a helicopter , the flight altitude estimate it at about 300-400 meters .

The officials suspect that the object is about to return to the airport and notify the air traffic control, whereupon the latter sweeps scheduled for 18:55 clock starting the machine LH 359 to Frankfurt / Main. (Source : Police Bremen) Later, the supposed return of the flying object to the airport as a mistake turns out .

Approx. 19:00 clock

The Bremen Police are asking the helicopter squadron in Lower Saxony for assistance in the search for the Unidentified Flying Object .

19:20 clock

A police patrol gets loud spokesman for the police Bremen " visual contact with an unidentified flying object in the field of Werder lake (on the Neustadt side / Lot area ) " .

Approx. 19:30 clock

The police helicopter from Lower Saxony is on site and support the Bremen officials in the search for the flying object , according to press release of the police, " but could not find such " . Opposite the Northwest newspaper , however, the pilot of the police helicopter , Alexander Pfirrmann later explained : "We have seen something, but were not sure what it is " (Source: Northwest newspaper ) . The helicopter was very well equipped with night vision goggles and thermal imaging device "But over downtown was a lot of light and we had no altitude information." (Source: Northwest newspaper )

20:51 clock

The police helicopter reported to Air Traffic Control the sighting of a " non-illuminated flying object " . Then , the air traffic controllers in the control tower Air France AF1724 machine from Paris , which is currently in the final approach to the airport to abort the landing and durchzustarten . Later, the plane will land safely in Bremen. (Source: Anja Naumann, DFS Bremen)

20:55 clock

The search of the police helicopter is set . Meanwhile, the object has traveled a substantial distance . In summary , the police spokeswoman Franka Haedke , the flight path can be described as follows : " From the city center across the River Weser towards the Weser Stadium, turned in height strawberry bridge in the south , back across the New Town towards the city center , then back the same route back , turned again and disappeared over the New Town in the clouds. "

The object was sometimes lit , sometimes not. It had not always existed sight.

7 January 2013 2:42 clock

Gets in the middle of the night the UFO database ( www.ufo - datenbank.de ) apparently directly by an employee of the Bremen Airport a sighting report on the incident ( Sichtungsnummer 2877 ) . Content : More than 10 witnesses had observed a UFO in the period from 18:30 bis 21:30 clock clock : " Unidentified flying object on the radar. Temporary closure of airspace . Flights had to be diverted. A helicopter searched the sky over Bremen. "

As a contact phone number to dial number of the Bremen Airport is specified. The name of the detector is unknown.

Radar contact or not ?

Since the brief flash was visible on the radar screen in only two Radarumläufen , one can , according to the chief spokesman of the German air traffic control, Axel Raab, " not to speak of a radar- contact ' " . " The object was therefore not tracked by our standards as such on the radar " . What it was indeed in this flash , could no longer be traced .

When evaluating a possible radar contact course caution. For us, ask about the following questions:

Was the signal on the radar screen really so insignificant that it could not be assigned to the visually sighted object ? After all, the air traffic controller was only by this signal on the UFO attentive, he also apparently closely watched at the point where the radar signal , it suggested - in Endanflugsbereich the airport.

Moreover, in the UFO message to the UFO database, which apparently comes from an employee of the airport, clear of radar contact of the question. Flashed the object perhaps longer than just two Radarumläufe ?

To even be detected by the radar, the object would have to have a certain size. "Some square feet of space should do the trick ," said Axel Raab of the DFS. How could a small plane , about Cessna , are usually depicted well on the radar , gliders rather not. Model airplanes are usually too small to leave an echo.

Flog the object that is below the level detected by airport radar? " The closer to the antenna , the deeper it can fly , to be displayed ," says Raab, " at the airport itself you can see the machines mostly to floor" . The fact that the sighted object but only briefly flickered on the screen is also Anja Naumann by DFS in Bremen a mystery : "Normally such an object over the airport on the radar would have to be visible ," she admits. Compared to the dpa it was a little clearer : "Either it was too small, or - what I do not want to insinuate now - it was actively suppressed ."

What exactly observed the crew of the police helicopter ?

Contrary to the press release by the police helicopter crew something suspicious has been observed apparently did . That is not only the testimony of the pilots over the Northwest newspaper , but also the DFS spokeswoman Anja Naumann. According to their information the crew had reported the sighting of a " non-illuminated object" , after which the air traffic control saw himself nevertheless obliged to abort the landing of an incoming machine. If it is about nothing as a harmless error?

We contacted Bremen police spokesman Nils Matthiesen , wanted to know from him how exactly the helicopter crew has described the object? Matthiesen : " We do not express ourselves , which is the subject of ongoing Ermittlungen'in a criminal case . " We hooked by: Why is written in the police press release that the helicopter could not find such , although the spokeswoman says the air traffic control , have the crew a " non-illuminated object" spotted and reported to the Tower? Matthiesen : " What and if you saw what we did not speak to us."

Meanwhile, the Bremen police are 40 notes of witnesses from the population who claim to have seen the UFO and partly heard. "We particularly focus on one of the entries ," said police spokesman Siemering over the Weser Kurier . Which lane the police are pursuing concrete , did not want to tell us on request - from " determination tactical reasons."

Appears even the first bit of footage is yet another example of some idiot who has reposted an earlier video on You tube and just changed the name
Spotted by free_spirit over @ATS
Unfortunately the video you posted as well as the other members was not recorded in Bremen
Germany in 2014. The original footage was taken in Kansas City, Missouri by Esaul Orozco on
December 12, 2012. Due to the incident in Bremen that became viral a certain individual by
the nickname Judenfänger made a copy of the video by Mr. Esaul, removed the audio and
changed the title to Ufo Über Bremen 06.01.2014 and then uploaded the pirated video to
his Youtube channel. This guy Judenfänger was denounced for copyright violation and
Youtube closed his channel. But many others already made copies of the wrong video and
it became viral as the Bremen UFO wich is false.

This is the original footage by Mr. Esaul Orozco from Kansas City Missouri.

Apologies for that so there is no actual footage of the craft as far as we know.

It's a pity that on each and every occasion that there is an interesting sighting, there are idiots who try and get their 5 minutes of fame by faking evidence...

A couple of witnesses were interviewed by the Nord Kurier
http://www.nordkurier.de/mueritz/auch-warener-sichtet-ufo-ueber-dem-mueritz-himmel-104272801.html
Another poor google translation of the article.

Job skills can confirm what was seen at the beginning of the week in Ueckermuende . He has also observed a flying object for the explanation , there is no real basis .
"Up there I saw the flying object " . Helmut Zielke of goods is sure to have observed something unusual. Thomas Beigang "Up there I saw the flying object " . Helmut Zielke of goods is sure to have observed something unusual.

This is getting interesting. ( Reported to the Northern Courier ) The UFO that has been seen over the lagoon at Ueckermuende . Rudi Roloff from Bellin , who saw the flying object last Monday evening , with his observation is no longer alone, but has experienced support. Also in goods the flying object has been sighted. Had watched And at that very evening and about at that time , and the Belliner the sky , to 21 clock . The reported Helmut Zielke (65 ) , who has reported on Friday at the North courier.

"I am again in the evening out , it was windy , and since I have my rabbits fed with hay ," says the 65 -year-old Warener . The cloud cover was torn suddenly . This has enabled him to watch his favorite constellation , Orion .

In his professional life Zielke was a surveyor , had appropriate measurement and monitoring devices . In his home and in the garage , there are still scopes , binoculars and theodolite , an angle measuring device , from that time. Zielke is thus a man of exact science . And as such, he has watched with amazement what Rudi Roloff has seen : a flying object . "It is true , for an aircraft it was too high and too fast for a satellite . "

The structures have also reportedly had no navigation lights . But behind the flying object in the Warener has been able to make up a " red light area " . "I will not go so far as to say that it has something to do with recoil or drive ," Helmut Zielke limits . At the same time he emphasizes : "With ufologists I actually have nothing to do . " But after reading the article about UFOs in the Northern Courier of pensioners could confirm what was said to the flight direction : the thing has moved to northeast. What it could have been because the Warener do not want to set : There are obviously things in heaven and earth, which raise more questions than can be answered at present .

In a following article another 'UFO expert' says it's likely to be space debris.
http://www.uckermarkkurier.de/mecklenburg-vorpommern/experte-ufos-waren-schrott-aus-dem-weltraum-144367601.html

Don't understand how that could possibly 1) give a radar return and 2) or stay in the sky so long it was up there for an hour or so.
It was no doubt just hot air.:cool:

[Garuda]

Well, to stay up in the air like that it was obviously space debris hung up on a weather balloon... :das

[Longeyes]

Latest theory by the Bremen Police is that it was probably a multi-copter or model plane. However they still have no culprit and not all the witness testimony fits in with the multi-copter theory.

NBC is planning on using this kind of helicopter drone in it's coverage of events. This kind of device is becoming so common that many UFO reports may be naturally suspect, even when photographed, if disguised, or at night.
