During NATO's Operation Mainbrace, RAF Flight Lieutenant J. Kilburn and five associates observed a silver circular object stop mid-air, rotate on its own axis, then accelerate away at extraordinary speed - a maneuver impossible for any known aircraft. The incident is among several UAP sightings recorded during large NATO military exercises, suggesting awareness of military activity. Case files held in UK PRO archives.
