A passenger on a commercial flight recently sparked speculation about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) after capturing footage of a mysterious cylindrical shape in the skies above New York City. Michelle Reyes, the passenger in question, shared her experience on Facebook, recounting her sighting of the unusual object while flying above LaGuardia Airport on March 25.

Reyes promptly notified the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about the sighting, expressing concern about a potential safety hazard. However, she reported receiving no acknowledgment from the FAA, leaving her puzzled and unsettled. Another passenger on the flight corroborated Reyes’ observation, adding to the intrigue surrounding the incident.

Thomas Wertman, the state director of the Mutual UFO Network in Ohio, analyzed the footage and noted several compelling aspects of the object. Traveling at an altitude of approximately 2,500 feet, the object’s proximity to the plane during landing preparations raised questions about its nature. Wertman ruled out conventional explanations such as drones or military aircraft, given the object’s characteristics and location near a major flight path.

The lack of identifiable features, such as wings or a tail, led Wertman to dismiss the possibility of the object being a commercial aircraft. Despite the absence of metadata and additional information, Wertman found no evidence of tampering with the footage, describing it as “intriguing” and warranting further investigation.

While Wertman considers various hypotheses, including wildlife or weather balloons, he emphasizes the need for more data to draw conclusive conclusions. Without metadata detailing the plane’s trajectory and the exact timing of the sighting, speculation remains.

The FAA, however, stated that they have received no reports from pilots regarding the mysterious object. The specific flight number and time of the incident remain unclear, adding to the mystery surrounding the sighting.

As curiosity mounts and experts delve deeper into the footage, the enigmatic nature of the object captured by Reyes continues to captivate imaginations, prompting further scrutiny and debate within the UFO community.
