An airline pilot claims to have seen two UFOs hovering near each other, 35,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.
The pilot of the A320 Frontier captured the flying objects while in the cockpit of the plane and shared a video of them on Reddit on Monday.
He claimed the UFOs were moving at “incredible speeds” and hovered in the sky “instantly” on August 19.
In a separate post, the pilot, who uses the username thtflyingguy, revealed he was flying over Grand Bahama International Airport in Freeport when he witnessed the suspicious objects.
“We see satellites all the time and the way they move is not satellites,” he said.

Flight tracking data revealed that flight FFT3572 took off from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was over the ocean at the same altitude as reported by the pilot.
In his first post, the pilot said: ‘I’m an airline pilot and I was flying over the Atlantic Ocean when the captain and I saw these orbs of light that kept moving around each other and at one point we saw them move at incredible speeds and instantly stop and hover.’
‘It was at that moment that I took out my phone to record them. We continued to see them throughout the night.
“One would appear and then another would appear out of nowhere. I have another video showing two of them and I pan the camera to show another group to the south,” he added.
In a follow-up post showing the metadata of his video, the pilot wrote: ‘For anyone asking, here is the location and time my iPhone says we were at the time I recorded the video.
‘We were traveling at about 512 knots at a flight level of 350 heading northwest over the Atlantic. The location indicated by my phone’s GPS is right over Grand Bahama International Airport.’

Users quickly flocked to her posts, with some of them revealing that they had witnessed something similar before.
“I saw something like this here in Kissimmee FL two weeks ago and when I pulled out my phone it was gone,” one wrote.
“I’ve seen it before. What’s the consensus on this? It was seen in the western mountains,” said another.
Others were not so impressed and doubted the pilot’s findings, with one claiming it was a “balloon” in the sky.
“It’s not moving abnormally, it’s probably drones,” wrote another user.
Although the pilot reported that the floating objects were UFOs, there is something called twinkling stars that appear similar.
Twinkling stars are known to reflect rainbow-like colors, caused by light passing through layers of a turbulent atmosphere. It is unclear if this is what the pilot saw.
“We generally take the pilots at their word when they say they see something unusual, as they are highly trained and used to identifying all sorts of things in the sky,” Christian Stepien of the National UFO Reporting Center told DailyMail.com.
Above, a clip from one of two videos purported to be from the August 16, 2024 UFO sightings, which were reported in the Palmdale-Lancaster area of California, in the high desert north of Los Angeles. They were later determined to be a hoax.
‘The ability of an object to move at incredible speeds, then instantly stop and hover, is one of the signs of a true UFO.
“Unfortunately the video does not show this, so it is difficult to draw conclusions from the video alone,” he added.
Recently, local residents in California were left in a panic after spotting a UFO “zig-zagging” and flying over two cities north of Los Angeles.
Their reports of a “bright light” that looked like “a shooting star” but acted more like a “hovercraft” sent social media into a commotion, along with the emergence of eerie cellphone videos purportedly capturing some of these six alleged craft.
But a wide community of experts, including UFO researchers from Harvard’s Project Galileo, told DailyMail.com the videos were likely “an intentional hoax.”
The videos appeared to show swarms of drones used in an LED light show thousands of miles from California, based on landmarks and other visual cues, they said.
And some of these UFO videos were paired with old, unrelated audio tracks that were passed off as being from the videos themselves.
Electrical engineer John Tedesco, who runs a lab affiliated with Harvard’s Galileo Project, told DailyMail.com: “The first two videos look a little suspicious to me.
Montana’s wide-open spaces have been named the state where you’re most likely to have a close encounter, with half of locals claiming to have seen a UFO, according to a new study.
“The longitudinal light patterns are well organized. They could be drone swarms.”
However, he admitted: “The quality of the video doesn’t give us much to work with.”
For those looking to catch a glimpse of a UFO, the wide open spaces of Montana are the best place to do so.
People are more likely to have a close encounter with a UFO in the state nicknamed “Big Sky Country,” according to a new study.
The findings are sure to surprise residents of Nevada, home of the legendary classified U.S. Air Force base and ufology mainstay Area 51: Their state didn’t even appear in the top 10 in the study, which integrated sightings with other regional data.
Among the states topping the list is Massachusetts, as data collected from Google searches shows that this New England state is the most UFO-obsessed in the United States, with 13,750 monthly Google queries related to the topic (or 19.64 searches per 10,000 people). But New York and New Jersey were not far behind.
