Russian news reports are suggesting the fatal crash of the Bhoja Air 737 last week could have been due to a UFO sighting by the pilot. Footage has been shown showing three mysterious lights moving in formation, which the news reports states could have distracted the pilot. However the official ruling is that the aircraft’s fuel tanks exploded mid-air during a heavy thunderstorm, killing all 127 people on board.
In a mayday call made moments before the disaster, the pilot reported that a fuel tank had caught fire and the plane was out of control. He asked controllers at Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto international airport for help as he prepared for an emergency landing, saying he could see the roofs of homes but not the runway.
The Civil Aviation Authority said the aircraft had been properly positioned as it began its approach, but suddenly descended to 200 feet while still flying at 300 miles an hour. It then descended 50 feet more before its tanks exploded.
