We, as the citizens of Turkey, are in a deep sorrow
due to the earthquake disaster occurred in Sultandagı district of Afyon, Turkey
early on the Sunday morning. From here, we want to give our condolences to the
families and relatives of all those who died at this grievous incident, and wish
all those who injured a quick recovery. Officials, who have been alerted against
earthquakes since the great Adapazarı earthquake in August 1999, are doing their
best to recover the wreckages and supply tents and other required materials. We
hope Turkey recovers from this disaster in a short period of time.
For a few days, we have been arguing the UFO
incident that took place in Adıyaman, Turkey; whether the objects are UFOs or
earthquake lights. This grievous disaster happened last Sunday once more showed
that the Unidentified Flying Objects seen over Adıyaman, Turkey on the nights of
January 26-27, which were described as earthquake lights by certain uninformed
circles, were NOT earthquake lights. If they were, this dreadful event would
have occurred in Adiyaman, not in Afyon, which is located at approximately 700
miles away from Adiyaman. (Adıyaman is located at southeastern region of Turkey,
while Afyon is located nearby Agean region, at western Turkey) In addition, we
see it crucial to repeat that earthquake lights are flashes or glows that are
generally in the color and form of lightning. They are mostly viewed right
before or in the middle of an earthquake and last a few seconds. They DO NOT
maneuver and then hover in the sky for 5-6 hours, DO NOT appear in groups of 2
or 3..etc. These are the common characteristics of UFOs, rather than earthquake
glows. Thus, the lights seen over Adiyaman were definitely UFOs, as verified by
the latest earthquake disaster. This is also why no sightings of fireballs or
earthquake lights were recorded from Afyon region before or on the date of the
earthquake.
