Case description

On 17 August 1993 around 23:00, 2 witnesses in Vatan saw 2 white lights and flashing red lights moving slowly without audible noise. The investigation quickly established that a military DC-8 arriving from England was searching for the runway and making wide turns through the area. Its landing lights and other aircraft lights matched those observed.
