Multiple authorities have confirmed that commercial airline pilots recently saw, well, something, hurtling through America’s southwestern skies.

The lowdown is this: American Airlines Flight 2292 was passing over Clayton, N.M., on Sunday, traveling at 36,000 feet en route to Phoenix from Cincinnati, when the crew witnessed a “long, cylindrical” object. The object shot over the top of the plane, traveling at a very high rate of speed, then disappeared.
Shortly after it occurred, the pilots of 2292 radioed the FAA’s Albuquerque Air Route Traffic Control Center to ask what the hell was going on. The transmission associated from the incident was actually recorded by blogger and self-styled “radio interceptor” Steve Douglass, who featured it on his blog Deep Black Horizon. The story was subsequently picked up by The Warzone and other news outlets. The transmission from Sunday reads:
The recent report that two American Airlines pilots described to air traffic control a cylindrical unidentified object fly over their plane while crossing New Mexico is getting updated as fast as the UFO was apparently flying. Just days after the incident hit the media and went viral, American Airlines confirmed that the report had indeed been made by the pilots. Not long after that, the Federal Aviation Administration issued its own statement. Is this the Tic Tac of 2021?
“Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us – I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing – moving really fast right over the top of us.”
