A UFO had a mid-air collision with a fighter jet over central Europe, a shock leaked report has revealed.
Defence chiefs are investigating claims that the Romanian MIG 21 fighter plane was struck by ‘strange objects’.
The official report says the cockpit of the jet was shattered.
Meteorites
Romanian defence ministry officials have ruled out all normal types of collision such as birdstrikes, ice or small meteorites.
Chief investigator Commander Nicolae Grigorie said in the report: "We can definitely say what this thing was not, but we cannot say what it was."
The impact on a training flight above Transylvania took only 67 milliseconds and was recorded on an in-flight video camera.
Pilot Marin Mitrica was slightly injured but managed to land the plane safely after the incident in 2007.
Baffled defence chiefs have now passed the UFO incident on to the Security Committee of European Air Forces for investigation.
