Did you see mystery plane over Burnley?
12:57pm Wednesday 15th August 2012 in Burnley
A 'MYSTERY' plane was seen flying low over Burnley last night.
The grey-coloured aircraft was seen flying at low altitude above Cliviger and Worsthorne between 9pm and 10pm.
Residents in Rossendale also reported the aircraft over Crawshawbooth.
Checks with radar controllers at Manchester Airport have drawn a blank and there was no air traffic from either Blackpool Airport or BAE Samlesbury at the time.

I logged on my plane tracker app, and the only plane shown in the area was heading over towards Todmorden and the Worsthorn area, looking as though it had come from the general direction of Darwen.
The ID this plane was showing was EI-EKF, and on Google, this shows as a Ryanair Boeing 737, which does seem a bit odd if it was not showing on any radars at airports.

I recall hearing this pass over my house last night thinking that it was odd to be travelling so low. I went outside and looked up and it was directly over my house in Rossendale, no more than a few hundred meters high.

Probably another hair brained stunt from T`rovers fans, who can forget the revenge mission after we draped jack walker in a burnley shirt and they wrote graffiti and stuck a cone by a turf moor turnstile,clueless classless ,brainless T`rovers fans.
