THREE fighter jets were scrambled after frightened residents including British expats spotted a UFO over the Costa del Sol.
The F18s and a military helicopter skimmed over the holiday hotspots of Marbella and Estepona at 5am. Witnesses woken by a sonic boom created by the planes reported seeing a “gold, cigar-shaped object”.

I know, it's the crappy Sun newspaper but there must be something to this story, especially after the recent sightings over England:

If you read the page that this story is on, you will notice another story. It is of the cell phone capture video, from an commercial airliner over South Korea. I believe this video was debunked. This story has the same feel, IMHO.edit on 15-4-2012 by Violater1 because: (no reason given)

Great story thanks for sharing.
"Officials declined to comment. But days later two Typhoons broke the sound barrier when they were scrambled amid sightings of a golden “sock-shaped” UFO over Somerset."
Project Blue Beam Getting Ready or Is Are There Aliens Visiting?
Two fighter scrambles in two days is pretty significant IMO.

can you show us a link " of a golden “sock-shaped” UFO over Somerset.""
Just curious if they are indeed described as "Golden".

One British reader, who asked to remain anonymous, told the paper this weekend: “It was terrifying. They were clearly tailing this strange-looking craft.
“I cannot describe what it was, but it was long and thin and had flashing lights. It was definitely not a plane or helicopter.
“It made a very strange sound and moved slowly before suddenly shooting off at top speed.”
Her neighbour Alison Woods, who is married to a former RAF engineer, added: “It was a eerily humming sound, nothing I have ever witnessed before.
“We have lived on various RAF bases in UK and abroad. It was the most bizarre sound, not easy to explain.”

Some details here, not sure if it was referred to as ''golden'' though I think some eyewitnesses said ''silver''. Either way, with sunlight it could be either depending on conditions, the fact that there are a lot of these sightings recently and these two are very similar is interesting.

Neither statement made any reference to the presence of the other object – said to be silver and rocket-shaped. There has been speculation that it might have been a weather balloon, but the Met Office today ruled out the possibility, saying they were not released at that time of day. Today an MoD spokesman said: “The Typhoons went out because of the helicopter and then came back. They did not report any other unusual air activity.”
Witnesses woken by a sonic boom created by the planes reported seeing a “gold, cigar-shaped object”.
Dad-of-three Richard Bird, 38, told how the supersonic jets probed the “strange sock-shaped” entity above his garden in Bath. He said: “They were having a really good look.”
Fellow local Sean Whyte described the UFO as “white and rocket-shaped”.
“At the same time high above, another Typhoon, the shape is very distinctive, was seemingly buzzing a white object at about 35,000 ft. This white rocket-shaped object was in the NE and stationary. Clouds eventually obscured both but we had been watching for maybe five minutes. We were not seeing things!”
“My mother and sister also witnessed the silver floating object. They described it as shaped like a rocket, and that it moved horizontally, then stopped, then moved vertically up until they lost sight of it.”
Another witness said: “The jets kept circling it. It was very strange.”

Ok so if all these people in the uk and spain have seen this sock shaped ufo where are the photos/videos?
Reports are suggesting the videos that were on youtube were promptly taken down by youtube soon after being posted.
It seems the helicopter was below the ufo by some distance but that the crew of the helicopter could clearly see the ufo hovering above them,, we are guessing that the helicopter pilot mistakenly thought the ufo was either intimidating them or even being hostile toward them lol, so they informed air control which was then we think reported as a hostile act and the eurofighters were called in to investigate,, the air control must have picked up the ufo on their radar as it appears 1 jet went to the helicopter and 1 went straight to engage the ufo, what my colleague saw was the jet that went to check on the helicopter after seeing the helicopter was ok immediately went to join the jet engaging the ufo, which is why he saw the fighter jet climbing so steeply and in such a rush.......
Mr Knott said they only surivived turbulence from the jets because they were in an ex-military helicopter.
"All of a sudden this plane came from underneath us. The turbulence sucked us round 30 degrees and the pilot said we were lucky to be alive."
He said he only saw one of the Typhoon aircraft that had been scrambled but on its first pass the pilot could not have been more than 200m (650ft) away.
The plane passed by the helicopter two more times communicating with the helicopter pilot before flying away, according to Mr Knott. He said he did not know anything about the emergency signal and had not been able to hear the communication between the two pilots. He added: "Our pilot was just in shock. He was quite angry and when we landed he went off to find out why it had happened."

No wonder the pilot was angry, getting buzzed by jet fighters who were checking out a UFO and then having the MOD basically call him a moron, who can't tell if he sent an emergency signal. I'd be major p*ssed as well
Doesn't this emergency signal thing sound like another Venus/swamp gas/weather ballon? They accuse their own military personnel of being stupid so why not a civilian pilot also?edit on 16-4-2012 by Zcustosmorum because: (no reason given)
