Warsaw Modlin: MiG-21 pilots encounter white discs

Background

Incident

At 21:00, a Polish air force pilot took off from Warsaw Modlin airport in Poland in a MiG-21 on a short training mission. Shortly afterwards he and his wingman spotted two identical white discs, about 1.8 to 3 metres across, flying at the same altitude and speed.

Encounter

The pilot closed to 15 metres. Over the following five minutes, radio contact with the control station broke off and communication between the pilots deteriorated. Four further unidentified objects then followed the aircraft for 5 to 10 kilometres, accelerated, overtook them ahead, and disappeared.

Witnesses and Evidence

Two air force pilots as primary observers. The case counts as a military UAP encounter with a visual sighting and communications interference. Source: Eberhart's UFO timeline (p. 663, Poland 65).
