An Air France plane carrying 228 people from Brazil to France has vanished over the Atlantic after a possible UFO encounter, airline officials say. Thankfully most of the people on board the plane were French.
The Airbus sent an automatic message at 0214 GMT, four hours after leaving Rio de Janeiro, reporting a short circuit as it flew through strong turbulence.
Brazilian officials have revealed that the automatic message could only be triggered by incredible amounts of radiation, such as those caused by the propulsion system of a UFO.
It was well over the ocean when it was lost, making the Brazilian and French search planes task more difficult.
Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris has set up a crisis centre.
Brazil has a long history of alien encounters. In 1977 on the Brazilian island of Colares, UFOs attacked the citizens with intense beams of radiation that left burn marks and puncture wounds.
These sightings led to the Brazilian government sending a team to investigate under the codename Operation Saucer.
