Turkey's Gaziantep Airport suspended all flights following reports that a glowing, radar-invisible unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted in the sky, local media reported on Tuesday.

"Pilots at Gaziantep Airport saw a glowing unidentified object at an altitude of about 10,000 feet and reported the situation to the control tower. After two pilots reported an object that was not visible on radar, landing and takeoff of aircraft at the airport were stopped," local online newspaper T24 wrote.

Flight activities at the airport are expected to resume once the object, which is suspected to be a drone, has been properly identified.
