An American Airlines pilot claims to have nearly collided into an unidentified flying object while going from Cincinnati and Phoenix.
An American Airlines pilot claimed to see a UFO while flying across the USA
This is according to communications- dated from February 21 2021 - between the pilot and nearby air traffic controllers in Albuquerque.
In an audio snippet of the radio transmission, the pilot said: “We just had something just go over the top of us.”
He added: “I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type moving really fast right over the top of us.”
The pilot - in one of the most major UFO incidents last year - went to ask if they’re any “targets” in the air.
After the exchange emerged, an American Airlines spokesperson confirmed the audio, saying: “Following a debrief with our flight crew and additional information received we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on February 21.”
In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration added that air traffic controllers “did not see any object in the area on their radar scopes.”
