Numerous pilots flying from Japan to Hawaii and the west coast of the United States have reported prolonged sightings of “bright lights moving in elongated circles” above the clouds. A researcher has recently unveiled compelling air traffic control recordings capturing American pilots describing these mysterious encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) over the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
Experienced pilots reported seeing “bright lights moving in elongated circles” for hours high in the sky while flying routes from Japan and Hawaii to the U.S. West Coast in August and September.
They themselves tried to film from their cabins the group of between three and five bright objects, which seemed to fly in the area of the sky where the Ursa Major constellation is located.
“We have some planes going north here and they are circling, at a much higher altitude than us…”
“Any idea what they are?”
The pilot described seeing “maybe three planes there” and 23 minutes later called the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARtCC) saying, “there are about seven now” and estimated they were “at least between 5 and 10,000 feet.” above us.
When the controller asked him to explain further, Hulsey added: “They just keep going in circles.”
“I was an F-18 pilot in the Marine Corps and I tell you that I have made many interceptions, I have never seen anything like this,” he told reporters.
Chris Van Voorhis, 63, reported seeing three to five objects, much brighter than the stars around them, fading without a discernible pattern and moving in a circular “racetrack” motion, while flying from Honolulu to Los Angeles in August.
The experienced pilot assured that the objects appeared to be in Earth’s orbit or even further away in space, given their continuous position near the constellation of the Big Dipper while flying over the ocean for hours.
“The other airlines said, ‘Hey, are you seeing what we’re seeing?’”
“They were lights that turned on very brightly, you saw them move and then they went off” and he clarified that they could not be satellites because they would move linearly and in the same direction.
“it had to be in a very, very high orbit, or even in space quite far from anything that could be a satellite, because every time we saw it, it was in the lower right corner of the Big Dipper, no matter what. .
“It lasted so long that it actually became almost boring.”
Van Voorhis said UFO sightings are quite common among pilots: “Of my pilot friends, at least 50% have seen some kind of anomaly,” he said.
“We have a global phenomenon from the west of Japan to the east of Miami.
But Hansen said there is currently no adequate process for reporting such sightings, even of foreign objects that could pose a threat to the safety of commercial airlines.
