In a remarkable revelation, a former US fighter pilot has broken his 45-year silence to recount his encounter with a massive triangular UFO near a UK nuclear base in 1980. Dan Isbell, a decorated 24-year-old first lieutenant at the time, was working a Christmas shift at RAF Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire when he witnessed the strange craft.
On the night of December 26, 1980, Isbell was driving between the airbase and the US servicemen's accommodation when he spotted multicolored lights rapidly approaching in his rearview mirror. The object then stopped instantly, hovering silently above the trees. Isbell described it as a 50-foot triangular craft surrounded by plasma-like lights.
