A strange UFO sighting, different from the rest was brought forth by airplane passengers and crew. Something flew by an Airbus on the way to Manchester Airport-but what's surprising was it wasn't SOMETHING but SOMEONE!

The initial report was from The Daily Mirror:

"Pilots on a passenger plane were stunned when a "flying man" zipped past the side of their aircraft at 3,500ft. He appeared from nowhere as the Airbus 320 passed the Cheshire town while it was coming in to land at Manchester Airport.

Aviation experts admitted they were baffled by the sighting of the human UFO, who has been dubbed Superman of Macclesfield."

It's great that they already have a nickname, but what if it was simply a skydiver. Skydiving has been taken to the next level wherein the divers do not use parachutes to land anymore but instead wear wingsuits to navigate to safe landing. But this was also discounted. In the report from The Inquisitr:

"The pilot and first officer, astounded after sighting the human UFO, reported the incident to air traffic control around 1:30 p.m. At first, they believed that the object was a paraglider, but did not observe a canopy. Controllers were unable to detect any sign of the flying man on radar, and a check of the area failed to turn up any paragliders, parachutists, or ­balloonists at the time of the sighting."

This was further corroborated:

"According to experts from the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, weather conditions at the time would also have made it impossible for an individual flyer to operate in the area. If anyone had been flying near Manchester, they assert, their equipment would have been obvious to radar."

Some passengers claim they saw the flying man but no one was able to take pictures or video. The flying man will remain a mystery like most other UFO cases.
