It is not unusual for pilots to report seeing UFOs. In fact, they probably see more UFOs than the average person because, well, they are thousands of feet up in the sky.
What is more unusual is for people on the ground watching pilots fly their aircraft to spot a UFO in the same sky at the very same time.
Then again, how often does the average person spend looking at the sky in a given day. Surely, it is much less than they do when they are at an air show. So someone spotting a UFO at an event like that makes some sense.
It happened in 2023 when a UFO appeared to join the Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows and was caught on camera.
It also happened in 2022 during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee parade while nine fighter jets flew in formation over the festivities.
And now it has happened again in 2024.
While the Navy’s Blue Angels were performing a demonstration during an air show on Long Island over Memorial Day weekend, a UFO appeared to zoom past a Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet while it was flying over Jones Beach.
Of course, it was caught on video, but just for a split second. Even slowing down the video shows how incredibly quick this UFO was when compared to the speed of the fighter jet.
According to a report filed with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), here’s what the witness saw.
“Weekend of Bethpage Airshow – was looking for anything in the sky,” they wrote. “From stated location above, looking very high in the sky – approximately 36,500 to 41,000 ft high. Looking Westward from my location, tracking it going North by Northwest, by eye.
“Held at arms length, UAP was about the size of a slightly less than a pea, but greater than a grain of rice. Going very fast for a craft that high. No trails seen. Vividly tracked it visually for about 9 seconds. Then, saw it take an immediate and distinct 90 degree turn downward to about 18,000 feet within two to maybe 3 seconds. Distinctly able to follow it visually to that level when it simply disappeared.
“Not the Blue Angels (flying this weekend). Not commercial. Appeared relatively normal until it took the 90 degree turn and accelerated downward in the same position but to a lower altitude.”
What was it? No one seems to know with 100 percent certainty.
Perhaps it could have been similar to the UFO that made national news after a woman filmed it from a plane over LaGuardia Airport in April.
The truth is out there… somewhere.
