Unidentified object claim in Gaziantep halts flights, moments captured on camera

Flights at Gaziantep Airport were temporarily suspended after pilots on an aircraft reported seeing an illuminated and unidentified object. As no negative findings were detected during the checks, flights resumed after approximately 3 hours.

The incident occurred at Gaziantep Airport around 22:00. An aircraft reported seeing an illuminated, unidentified object at an altitude of approximately 8-10 thousand feet that could not be detected by radar. Following this report, flights were temporarily suspended as a security precaution. After the flights were halted, the events on board an aircraft and the announcements made by the pilots were captured on a passenger's mobile phone camera. 

SUSPENDED FLIGHTS RESUMED AFTER 3 HOURS  

Following the suspension of flights, a detailed inspection was carried out at the airport and its surroundings. Once it was determined that no negative situation was encountered during the investigations, flights returned to normal after a pause lasting approximately 3 hours. While the possibility of the unidentified object being a drone is being considered, it was announced that the investigation into the matter is ongoing.
