tiger1962 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Strange but True! In FSX:SE I've just spotted this UFO hovering at FL280 over RAF Cranwell, UK (one of UK2000's VFR Airfields sceneries but I don't think this object is part of that scenery): This raises two important questions: 1. Whatisit? 2. Has anyone else seen it, or anything like it? Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

DrawyahGames Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looks like Mr Summons has some explaining to do! It's most likely not the case, but I would say it could be Gary playing games with us? This bug was reported a while ago, he could have just added a mesh to it.

eaglen Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Tiger Tiger burning bright ... would be important if it were only visible to your goodself ! Had me guessing for a while ... but you can flygh your defensive fighter straight through it without any apparent effect. There is at least one other spook ... over Halton airfield ... presumably some RAF connection. eaglen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I bet $1 that it only appears only on a certain date (and maybe only on a certain year?). Like maybe April 1st, 2006? I went to the co-ordinates, and hovered at 50 kts over Cranwell, and did not see it. So it could be addon scenery that is putting it there. I don't have uk2000.

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 That's better than flying at night to Salt Lake City via Denver and about 50 miles until approach discover a 25 thousand foot mountain tower near your plane.

Thanks Chuck, I was hoping it wasn't UK2000 scenery and it doesn't look like part of anything they would create... it seems to be a highly-detailed part of a military vehicle or aircraft. I also have FTX Global and UTX Europe installed, but no military add-ons at all. I've had so many mid-air building collisions in FSX:SE that I've switched off collision damage & detection altogether, I've no idea where they're coming from though!

Mithras Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I've got a nice freeware scenery for Puerto Rico and thee is a UFO high over the mountains to the east 'Chupacabra country' I believe! - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have an object high above Lincolnshire, thought it was Sleaford, but Cranwell is in that area. Thought it was a cute add in, but I'd like to get rid of it.

CRJ_simpilot Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 When I made Area-51 for FS2004 (my own personal use) I had small desert strip airports around it that had UFOs take off and do touch and gos. Added to the whole "Area-51 experience." OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

UPHILL3 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I went to 28.000 ft above Cranwell AFB - flew around a long while looking for that UFO. Alas, no joy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammannn Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nope nothing like that....but I'll tell you a story of an incredible near-miss...Back in FS2004 I was flying KABQ-KDEN I believe was flying the default 737 anyway an Airwave DC-9 suddenly appeared right above my windscreen maybe 50 ft clearance I didn't know what to do he throttled up I throttlled back who says this hoppy isn't real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freguerfont Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 You may have the 2013 TJIG scenery I uploaded it back then. It's in an area that's traditionally known for UFO sightings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
