On November 1, 2002, an extraordinary UFO encounter in the skies over Turkey, which was witnessed by six Turkish airline crews, could be part of a worldwide Arescue effort that is being conducted by interplanetary forces. Early reports on the incident reported the flight crews as saying they observed a UFO fleet made up of ten to fifteen craft.

The UFOs were first sighted by the Captains and crews of two airliners just before takeoff. The strange objects were flying between 22,000 and 36,000 feet altitude and were spotted between 5:30 and 5:45PM. The reports were submitted to the Turkish UFO research group Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center and to the flight safety department by pilots.

Later reports however revealed that the witnesses had observed what appeared to be the destruction of a large meteor by a UFO. The UFOs were seen over Afyon, a city 250 kilometers (150 miles) southwest of Turkey's capital, Ankara, at 5:30 a.m. on Friday, November 1, 2002.
The first and closest airliner to the objects was the Sun Express Air flight # 590, a Boeing 747 flown by Captain Ercan Eken and First Officer Sinan Yilmaz who reported the sighting.
The second airliner following the first was a 737 800 Sun Express Air flight flown by Captain Yilmaz Atli and First Officer Bulent Demirturk.
The third flight was Inter Air flown by Captain Salih Gumus and First Officer Fatih Aksoy.
The pilot of the fourth crew Hapag Lloyd reported the UFOs were picked up by their radar, and they had asked air control for confirmation. The fifth crew, Captain Mhsin Atar says he and his crew witnessed the incident at Antalya Airport as he was preparing for departure for Stuttgart.
The sixth crew witnessed the incident from the ground, Captain Vedat Gurbuz, cabin supervisor Bilge Yilmazturk and stewardess witnessed the UFOs.
My co pilot said there was a strong light coming towards us, said a pilot, who was flying at 22,000 feet (6,600 meters) at the time. I was so frightened that it would hit us that I switched off the automatic pilot and took the yoke myself. The thing flew from one side of the horizon to the other in the space of a minute. When it was in front of us, it looked to be in one piece. But by the time it disappeared on the right hand side of us it was already divided into many pieces. I didn't believe in E.T.s before. But after experiencing this incident, I have definitely started to believe in life on other planets and extraterrestrials.
Nekmi Ecici, chairman of the Turkish Airline Pilots Association (TALPA), stressed that the pilots who reported having seen the UFOs have at least thirty years of experience, and they are sophisticated enough not to confuse the objects they saw with lights, meteors or stars.
The UFOs were also videotaped that morning. Halil Yalzin, 44, and his wife Emine were driving on the Balikesir Susurluk Highway when they encountered strange lights. Yalzin said, "First my wife saw the object. Then the bright object started to move and scattered light around. I stayed in the car and got my video camera ready. Then the object grew larger and started to break into pieces. It spread around like a firework display and disappeared behind a mountain. After sunrise, we saw that it had trailed a black line of smoke. This smoke did not disappear for a long time."
