The radio transmission are interesting. Even though the video is unrelated, probably one of the best flight footage videos I've seen as well...

You do see US millitary Aircraft relatively regularily in the UK...although I've never seen an F15 outside an airshow.
(Recently got "targetted" by an Apache whilst doing 70 MPH down the A1...it appeared from behind a hill , tracked my course whist strafing sideways , then dissapeared LOL...)
You can hear training flight millitary communications using civillian radios.
Still think its more likely to be Humans or indigenous "Aliens" than ET aliens but interesting nonetheless.
Edit: see old posts: Was a "Baloon" or it simply "didnt happen" -depending upon which truth you accept.edit on 13-12-2012 by Jukiodone because: (no reason given)

I thought that modern Air Forces digitally encrypt their communications? Or is the encrption only done during actual military operations? I do find it hard to believe that civilians can eavesdrop on this communication.
The accents of the pilots sounds American to me but I'm sure there are still USAF pilots who are occasionally based in the UK.
I thought the dialog sometimes seemed too descriptive and elaborate for real military radio comms, but that is just based on the little I know.
In any case, I'm sure that such encounters do occur but I'm a little doubtful of the authenticity of this alleged recording.

I have heard military transmission without encryption they have line that they don't encrypt but it is kinda rare now days

Exxxxxcellent. I remember this one. Dancing with the stars. These fly boys don't break for "swamp gas". Too bad we don't have the gun camera footage when they call "bingo". Never will either. The only reason this is in the public record is because it was captured by a third party on the ground (ham operator).
Love the distortion effects each time they make a visual pass. This is not a hoax. Anyone who knows a little about radio jargon can tell you these guys are really interacting with something they don't understand. Both pilots in turn engage the object and make several passes at it. On the last one its gone.

"based on the little you know", could you say what makes you doubtful? Could you point out the parts that don't sound like authentic radio jargon? Especially the "too elaborate" and "for real military radio 'comms' "?

Since you "know" that this is not a hoax, perhaps you can be so kind as to provide the following information on this incident:
1) Name of the ham operator who captured the pilot radio transmissions
2) Names of the two pilots involved
3) Date and time of the incident
4) Any other factual information that might corroborate the "incident" as authentic and not a hoax/dramatization
Without that sort of information, we have no reason to think this is anything more than someone's dramatization.

I did an Internet search for more info on this incident and it appears that NOTHING is known about this audio recording.
For all we know, it could just be a totally imaginary script OR a deliberate hoax.
If it isn't a hoax, it might as well be, since there seems to exist NO CORROBORATING information on this alleged incident.
If you look through the previous thread, you see there seemed to be lots of interest in this and people who were trying to obtain more info via FOIAs. They found nothing.

If you look through the previous threads, you will see that I have previously posted (repeatedly) links to further information - including links to Ministry Of Defence documentation and issues 9 and 10 of the "UFO Data" magazine which included material on this recording.
I perfectly understand (and commend) your skepticism about an audio file of unknown provenance. There are a number of hoaxed audio recordings that have been doing the rounds on the Internet for several years.
In the present instance, however, I think it is rather important to note that queries about the audio recording were raised with the British Ministry of Defence and that the Ministry confirmed the details of the incident with one of the pilots involved.
I have previously posted links to a relevant British Ministry of Defence memo dated 22 March 2007 which is important to the points made regarding whether the audio recording is credible or not. The author of the Ministry of Defence memo, a member of the Defence Flying Complaints Investigation Team, spoke with LATCC(Mil) on 7 March 2007 and with the pilot with the call sign (c/s) of GATOR 2 [493rd FS, 48th FW, RAF Lakenheath] on 20 March 2007. The pilot confirmed that he had seen an object. He reported that the object had been "drifting with the wind" and was "between the size of a grapefruit and a soccer ball". After 3 passes, the object was dismissed as something that "may have fallen off a weather balloon".edit on 14-12-2012 by IsaacKoi because: (no reason given)
