U.F.O. sightings over Skyros and other Aegean islands

An increase in strange activity over Greek skies that isn't perceptible on radars

Newsroom August 28 11:47

On Tuesday, August 12, shortly after 1 a.m. a group of 20 people by the beach at Molos on the Aegean island of Skyros saw five Unidentified Flying Objects aligned in parallel positions. The witnesses to this paranormal activity were sitting at the beach bar enjoying their cocktails when they noticed strange activity in the sky.

Unable to believe their eyes, they captured footage of unidentified flying objects coming from the east of the island, reaching close range, almost 500 meters away from them.

The video footage was handed to the Coastal Guard of Skyros that told the beachgoers that they were already aware of the incident.

Well-known expert of paranormal activity, Christos Kastamonitis (author of the blog Anopaio Atrapos) says that, on the same night, similar incidents had been noted on the sky above the isle of Chios. “We could say that it was a case of planes flying at a great height but appearing closer than they ordinarily would because of the clear sky, however the extreme speed of the vessels make us doubt this,” he says. “As far as I know, the military defense service was not mobilized, meaning that their radar may not have shown the vessels. This means that we can surely say that they are Unidentified Flying Objects, without this meaning that there was an alien or metaphysical experience.”

Noteworthy is the fact that another UFO sighting had been noted on May 28, this time in Thessaloniki.

And May 20 over Chalkis, on the isle of Evia.

And May 15 over Athens – in broad daylight…
