Commercial pilots captured ‘multiple UFOs’ in the night sky as the passenger plane flew over Egypt.
Video taken from inside the cabin showed several glowing orbs that the Boeing 747 crew said were “dancing” around the plane.
Captain Van Pangemanan shared the clip on his YouTube channel and said the UFOs flashed “as if they wanted to give a message.”
“We thought the light was a plane, but it wasn’t on our radar,” the pilot said. “So we thought maybe it was a star, but the stars were blinking quickly and not moving.”
In their video, captured around 5 a.m. local time after the plane took off from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the UFOs can be seen swaying or wobbling in the air before they appear to dim or hide. in the cloud layer below.
Some have suggested that meteors from the Perseid shower produced the lights, but Captain Van Pangemanan believes the movements of the UFOs were too “diverse” to be explained by a shooting star.
“The light from the UFO in front of us moves freely,” he said. “The light of the UFO shone for a long time and moved.”
Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan, who blogs about his life flying Boeing 747 airliners, emphasized that he and his crewmates examined the strange light in hopes of finding some kind of explanation for the unusual movements they were seeing: “What is, in the sky and dance?’
According to Captain Van Pangemanan, the orb-shaped lights appeared about 30 minutes into the flight after a “normal takeoff and cruise,” and after he had enjoyed an early breakfast in the plane’s cabin.
The Perseid meteor shower typically begins in mid-July, according to astronomer and Old Farmer’s Almanac editor Bob Berman, and intensifies as the summer progresses until the storm of shooting stars reaches its peak. between August 11 and 13.
The apparent origin or radiant point of the Perseid meteors is located approximately to the northeast, near the constellation Perseus, from which the annual event gets its name.
However, the real origins of the celestial events lie in the debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, whose path crosses Earth every summer.
Since Captain Van Pangemanan and his Max Air Ltd flight were traveling approximately southwest on his Boeing 747 from Jeddah to Abuja, Nigeria, the UFO outside the starboard side of his cockpit would be pointing in the general direction of the meteor shower. .
During peak rainfall in August, skywatchers free of urban light pollution can sometimes witness up to 100 shooting stars every hour.
“We also thought about the possibility that the light was a satellite,” Captain Van Pangemanan continued, “because right now there are a lot of Starlink satellites that have just been launched by Elon Musk.”
In the post to your youtube channel, Captain Van Pangemanan opened the floor to his fans to help solve the mystery and asked: “Please find out yourself, maybe you can identify this flying object.”
“Guys, this is not a joke or a ‘picture’ made,” said Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan, a witness and pilot, in his video. ‘This is my experience of seeing something strange’
Commercial pilots for a Nigerian airline recorded what one described as “a UFO anomaly… in the sky and dancing” during a night flight over North Africa (pictured)
The pilot and vlogger also gave some additional details about the timing of the sighting, stating that it occurred 30 minutes after takeoff.
In the comments below his YouTube post, other pilots chimed in with their own stories of seeing similarly spooky UFOs while on duty.
“I used to fly the 747. I witnessed the same type of light flying over the Sea of Japan on the way to Korea.” a pilot, named Paul Bishopsaying.
“A month later, another pilot told me he had seen the same thing over the Pacific and another said he had seen it over Canada,” he added.
DailyMail.com has contacted Captain Van Pangemanan for more information on the sighting and will update this article when they respond.
According to his Instagram account, the pilot has 32 years of flying experience and has more than 130,000 followers.
