Airline UFO Sighting

Curious BBC radio news report early this morning (Monday 18 November 1996) just after 8.00am referring to a Pakistan Airline crew (believe it was a 747 aircraft) who witnessed an unidentified "streak" shortly after taking off from either JFK or Newark (not sure which because I was listening to my car radio at the time and traffic noise was heavy).

Apparently, the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) took this report so seriously, that the particular air corridor used by the Pakistani flight was sealed off immediately to other aircraft.

The report went on to say that the pilot and crew were interviewed by FBI officials when they landed in Pakistan. That's all I was able to discern amidst the peak-time traffic but doubtless others will be able to come up with more details.

Best regards,
