PICTURES allegedly showing a UFO being tailed by two military planes have gone viral online after being posted on alien conspiracy websites.

The pictures which appear to show a flying saucer with a plane nearby were pounced upon by UFO chasers after they were published on a Bulgarian paranormal website.

According to the Portal 12 website a reader provided the pictures of a mysterious airborne operation.

A translated version of its report says: "Fighter jets were chasing a UFO over Nova Zagora.



"Military planes chased an unidentified flying object near Nova Zagora yesterday afternoon.

"A Reader provided Portal12 with pictures with unique footage.

"The craft were flying at very low altitude in the area above the villages of Gaz, Zagortci, and Han Asparuhovo."



The report claimed there were numerous witnesses and after about five minutes, the UFO sharply switched direction, causing the military planes to also perform "spectacular manoeuvres."

Scott C Waring, editor of website UFO Sightings Daily, picked up on the story.

He posted: "A UFO was seen over farm land near some very tall power lines and it was being monitored by a military aircraft.

"The UFO seems to not be in any kind of hurry to move and the jet seems like its only there to identify the craft to those back at base.

"I don't think any military will risk deliberately shooting at an alien craft."

Some views of the pictures now also included in YouTube videos said the UFO looked like it had been digitally added to the picture.
