Boston Pilots Reports Seeing UFO 'In a Blink' On Flight to PA

It seems that with every passing year, UFO sightings are heating up.

Just a few days ago on an American Airlines flight from Logan Airport in Boston to Pennsylvania, a pilot asked his fellow pilots in the air whether or not they saw what he saw. It wasn't the first time this has happened, either, as another sighting in 2023 also made headlines.

Now, to be fair, we can't be 100% sure of the validity of the audio, but it does come from a valid page for pilot transmissions.

"You're going to think I'm crazy, but there's something that just went from right to left to right in a blink and then flashed his lights three or four times and then vanished," the American Airlines pilot said in the clip, shared on Instagram. He described the UFO as "orangey" with flashing lights. In other words, unlike a plane.

His colleague in another plane offered a level-headed explanation of having spotted another plane in the air that had just crossed over and suggested that might be what the original pilot was seeing.

"This thing went 180 degrees in less than a second," declared the American Airlines pilot.

The other pilot, stunned, said to let him know if he saw anything again and they'd file a report.

"It's flashed us like three or four times since we last spoke, and we're looking at it now," the pilot responded.

Well, alrighty.

It's hard to know what this pilot was seeing, but it's also hard not to be shaken when we hear the shock and awe in the voices of those pilots. There is probably very little that they haven't witnessed while in the air. So, what they were seeing was extraordinary

Interestingly enough, for some reason, this story has not received widespread coverage.
