The pilot of an
American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ: AAL) passenger jet flying over New Mexico on Sunday afternoon reported an encounter with a UFO.
What Happened: American’s Flight 2292 was flying from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Phoenix, Arizona and had crossed into the northeastern corner of New Mexico at around 2 p.m. EST when one of the pilots noticed they were not alone in the skies.
Steve Douglass, a radio interceptor who publishes the Deep Black Horizon blog, recorded the pilot’s transmission to the Albuquerque Air Traffic Control Center.
“Do you have any targets up here?” asked the pilot, who was flying at around 37,000 feet. “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.”
