(Sabah Newspaper, 21 May 2023)

     Looks pretty authentic. Hard to argue with this one.

In the skies above Gaziantep, pilots noticed an object they could not
identify (UFO!) at about 0030 hours last night and alerted Turkish 
aviation officials, who launched IHA and SIHA (unmanned drones
and armed unmanned drones) in pursuit of the airspace intruder.

The UFO was flying at an altitude of about 9,000 feet and two 
passenger plane cockpit crews reported seeing the UFO.  In addition
to the launch of the IHA's and SIHA's, the Turkish National Radar
System at Gaziantep was said to have been alerted. 

The UFO sighting prompted officials to suspend flights from Gaziantep
Airport, with flights diverted to Adana and Şanlıurfa airports.  One of
the planes that spotted the UFO landed at Adana.  A total of 13 aircraft
departures and an equal number of aircraft landings were canceled at
Gaziantep, with normal operations resuming at noon yesterday. 

A THY (Turkish Airlines) flight from Istanbul Airport and an Anadolujet
flight from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Gaziantep were delayed because of
the UFO incident.  Ultimately, the two flights departed at about 1315
hours yesterday afternoon.
