According to a report, a Florida-bound flight crew was flying at high altitude over the Bahamas when they saw strange orbs flashing and flying around in the night sky.
A flight attendant for commercial airline Surjet claimed she and two pilots were flying back to Fort Lauderdale in an empty plane when they saw an object that spooked them and were looking for answers.
“At first it was white, but then it turned green and it was like an electric energy was spreading around us,” Cassandra Martin said. told NBC Miami. A description of the object she saw during the flight on December 23rd.
“Suddenly, I heard traffic control say, 'There is a foreign object. Please identify it,'” she told police.
“I looked to my left and the pilot spotted three objects. I could only see one. And I grabbed my phone to see if I could get a video of what the object was. I just pushed it against the window to do it,” Martin said.
Although she wasn't entirely sure what they were seeing, she was able to obtain photos and video of at least one glowing orb.
The veteran aviation official described the object changing color, indicating its “frightening” ability to fly.
The object remained on the plane for 45 minutes, flying over the plane as it was cruising at about 44,000 feet, she told NBC Miami.
Its altitude and its erratic movement (which Martin characterized as a “zigzag”) rule out the possibility that the object was a drone or a weather balloon, respectively.
“I think we were surprised. It was really inexplicable, but I'm not qualified to know what it was,” she told the outlet.
Last week, the Post spoke with former NASA commander Dr. Leroy Chao. He was flying his private plane over the Texas Panhandle at an altitude of 9,000 feet when he had a near miss with two metal balls.
Chao said the two spheres moved silently and quickly, with no visible means of propulsion.
For the NASA astronaut, who has been to space three times, the sphere reminded him of a 2023 Pentagon report that said a spherical aircraft flew through controlled airspace in Iraq.
The object has not yet been identified by federal agencies.
Last year, a local news station accidentally aired footage of a sphere that appeared to zoom in over New Jersey, the Hudson River, and lower Manhattan.
