Flying is one of the safest ways to travel.
Occasionally there is something completely unexpected that happens.
And a Florida-bound flight crew was asked one scary question that left them in disbelief.
Florida flight crew sees a mysterious object at 45,000 feet
A flight attendant and pilots on a private jet flying to Fort Lauderdale, Florida were startled when they saw glowing orbs in the night sky while traveling over the Bahamas.
The Surjet charter flight was returning to Florida without any passengers when they saw the orbs according to flight attendant Cassandra Martin.
“It started as white and then it just got green and almost like an electric some type of energy around it,” Martin told NBC Miami.
The orb darted about the sky in an unusual manner.
“All of a sudden I heard traffic control say, we have a foreign object, can you please identify,” Martin recalled.
Martin tried to get video and pictures of the mysterious objects.
“I looked to the left, and a pilot saw three objects, I only saw one, and I grabbed my phone, I just pressed it to the window to see if I could get a video of what the object was,” Martin stated.
She was not sure what the objects were but she observed them changing color and displaying “daunting” maneuvering.
I don’t know what it was, and then I zoomed in as much as the phone allowed me to,” Martin explained. “And the object was white, and it turned slightly green, almost kind of like it had an electric field around it of some sort, and it stayed with us for about 45 minutes and then we didn’t see it again, and we were about 43, 45 thousand feet and it was way above us.”
That altitude is too high for most drones and weather balloons to operate.
Martin described the motions of the orbs as a “zigzag” that balloons and drones do not make.
“I think we were astonished, and it was something that you really can’t explain but I don’t have the qualifications to know what that is,” Martin said.
Expert stumped by the footage from flight attendant
Former Politico Pentagon correspondent Bryan Bender called Martin’s footage “compelling.”
“Well you know, I think the video is compelling,” Bender said. “So you know, this video and this testimony rhymes a lot with a number of cases we heard from military pilots going back even 10 or 15 years and that is these orbs, or in some cases they called them Tictacs, they were more oblong in shape but flying at very high altitudes but also being able to maneuver in ways that don’t seem to make a lot of sense to us, at least as we know physics.
He had no explanation for what the objects that the Surjet flight crew saw were.
“So the question is, are these foreign adversaries that have made some breakthrough, or is it something else, and of course, that something else could be many things,” Bender stated.
New Jersey and the East Coast have seen an uptick in mysterious drone flights at night.
This will only add to the growing mystery about what is in the night sky.
