ufo s in kalkan ??
« on: May 08, 2008, 11:18:08 PM »
Hi all
I was in kalkan last week staying in my villa situated beyond the olive grove above the petrol station.
  I was wondering if anyone witnessed as a group of us did strange rotating lights hovering in the sky to the left side of the harbour ?
 We watched them rise slowly from behind the mountain hover still for around a minute then disappear at rapid speed upwards till out of site.
 mehmet my property manager and mike also a kalkan resident were with me and said they have never witnessed anything like it,i know others saw the strange objects as i could see various camera flashes around kalkan.
 I would be interested to know if anyone on this site had seen the same objects
regards kevin
ps i wasnt drunk

sorry to disappoint you, these were not ufos but sky lanterns being let off from the mediteran where there was a wedding party.

No, no you are all wrong that was us, we visited Kalkan for the first time but there were a lot of English & too many Villas, we found the restaurants too expensive & to top it all we had to pay 20 ytl to get a taxi back to the spaceships!  ;)

There is a lantern inside the paper ''shade'' which is lit and the whole thing slowly rises into the air.  I tried to post a pic of one going off but it was too big and crashed the site and I''m afraid I don''t have any photo shrinking software.

Thanks to The Feds for shrinking the pics for me, I have just posted a couple of pics of the UFOs (sorry lanterns - that will never get old ;)) in the Gallery.

The sky lanterns i have seen are very beautiful.
They are used each year at the Beautiful Days festival in Devon...they float around in the sky for a long time and are quite mesmerising.  :D

This link will give you an idea of how they work, Felicity.

Hope the wind was blowing them out to sea - a crash landing in a corn field could be spectacular (is there a fire engine in Kalkan?!

yeah there is. usually found parked in car park near the old school. the year of the big forrest fire it was seen going back and forward all day and night. Will never forget seeing the helicopters down at the harbour scooping up water and flying off to deposit it on the hillsides. A pretty frightening time.

there was a huge fire in the hills behind kalkan some years ago,it started in yesilkoy,and spread up the hillsides to the back of kalamar road(behind lizo upwards)....you can still just make out the fireline to this day.the bay was bright orange and thick smoke hung over kalkan for days after..The fire engine looked like Buster Keaton should have been driving it!! it was  manned by men in bright yellow oilskin trousers as seen throughout he world on fire trucks...but they didn''t have shirts on!!the local men were called to volunteer by the mosques and the blokes who stayed at our hotel all volunteered but were declined because of the language problem (not swearing)not being able to understand instruction plus batting it out with a flip flop would have been ineffective!! luckily no one was seriously injured although livestock in yesilkoy was killed.It was started by a farmer who was burning off stubble and went to the lokanta...while away the wind got up again and fanned the flames...(he was put in prison) i would think that with the new prosperity in kalkan now a decent fire engine is now in service...even so i''m not sure burning lanterns are a good idea :o

Blue Lizard I think that same fire engine is still in service. We saw it last October when there was a storm one Thursday lunchtime. We''d just made it in time to Oz Adana and there were hailstones as big as golf balls. Something got struck by lightening or thunder and the fire engine went past with sirens and lights. It did seem strange seeing that in Kalkan as it''s always so quiet.
