Pilots sometimes talk about encounters with unidentified flying objects, while often they still prefer to remain silent about such incidents, fearing losing their jobs and ridicule from colleagues.
Nevertheless, Andrew Danziger, who was the pilot of Barack Obama's plane during the 2008 election campaign, shared with the NY Daily News the story of an encounter with an unidentified flying object. According to him, the unusual incident happened 25 years ago when he was a pilot in a regional airline.
“It was around 8 pm and we had just taken off from Kansas City International Airport and were on our way to Waterloo, Iowa. It was a beautiful evening with a full moon and clear skies,”says Andrew.
All around were thin clouds, illuminated by the light of the full moon. At some point, on the starboard side in these clouds, he noticed a dimly visible disc-shaped object, which he immediately told the captain. The pilots looked at the strange object and could not identify it in any way.
According to Andrew, he and the captain made many flights and met all kinds of planes, airships, balloons, satellites, but never seen anything like it.
They watched this white disc for 30 minutes. Suddenly, a giant red ball appeared in its place, which greatly frightened the pilots.
“We sat in a daze. We were, of course, afraid to run into him, but then we realized that he was flying parallel to our course,”says Andy.
As they descended, the balloon began to fade and eventually disappeared behind these thin clouds.

After contacting the dispatcher, they found out that the strange object did not appear on the radars.
