2 Pilots in Different Planes Saw the Same UFO. The FAA Can't Explain It

The radio transmission from Flight 2292 was published on an aviation blog called Deep Black Horizon about the Feb. 21 passenger flight bound for Arizona.

American Airlines put out a statement, saying, "Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21."

And the FBI said agents are aware of the incident.

"While our policy is to neither confirm nor deny investigations, the FBI works continuously with our federal, state, local, and tribal partners to share intelligence and protect the public. Anyone who is aware of suspicious or criminal activity should contact their local law enforcement agency or the FBI."

Astronomer Dr Larry Wasserman from Lowell Observatory and Phoenix Lights expert Dr Lynne D. Kitei both found the recording fascinating. 

Two doctors with two different backgrounds, but both admittedly found the audio fascinating.

"The pilot obviously saw something, he saw a UFO," Wasserman said.

"Pilots have been reporting strange anomalies that can't be explained from their vantage point," Kitei said. 

"The excitement in their voices, seeing something so unusual but we have to remember that it's in New Mexico and white sands missile range is nearby."

Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque said, "We have no knowledge of any object."

FAA air traffic controllers said they did not see any object in the area on their radarscopes.

"I think we wait and see but I would not jump on the alien hypothesis as the first choice," Wasserman said.

When TMZ reached out to the FBI, spokesperson Frank Fisher said the Bureau is “aware of the reported incident.” He continued: “While our policy is to neither confirm nor deny investigations, the FBI works continuously with our federal, state, local, and tribal partners to share intelligence and protect the public.”

This report comes just a few months after a former Pentagon official revealed that the government has been quietly running an official UFO detection program since 2007. An investigation into the program by The New York Times turned up striking footage taken by two Navy fighter pilots, who appear to encounter a mysterious glowing object midair.

Reports like these may be more common than you imagine. According to the National UFO Reporting Center — an online database of alleged UFO sightings in America — there have been nearly 650 UFO sightings reported so far since 2018. However, the website advises, "Many of the new reports have been submitted by individuals who elect to remain anonymous… we encourage visitors to our website to be discriminating in what they accept as accurate and reliable."
