Pilots of two American airlines witnessed UFOs. The US media has obtained a recording of their conversations with the dispatcher and are now discussing the characteristics and origin of the unusual object.
The American media are vying to retell the details of the incident that happened in February this year with an unidentified flying object. Unlike most cases of UFO descriptions, in which one person observed unusual objects, this time two observers at once witnessed the strange phenomenon, and both were pilots of commercial airlines. This incident took place on February 24 in the desert sky in southern Arizona. First, the pilot of the Phoenix Air Group Learjet 36 contacted the dispatcher after he noticed a strange object flying over him. The audio recording of the talks, received from the US Civil Aviation Administration, was released on the eve of the media and allows you to literally reconstruct the events and dialogues during the incident. - Did anyone fly over us about thirty seconds ago?- asked the pilot of the dispatcher, stuttering a little. “No,” came the answer. - Okay. Something flew, - the pilot explained. After that, another pilot said "UFO" on the air, to which the first pilot replied: "Yes." A few minutes later, the dispatcher contacted the pilot of another aircraft, A321 of American Airlines, so that the crew looked in the sky for an object 20 kilometers away: “An airplane passed in front of you, which noticed something strange above it, and we have no marks … So let me know if you see anything above you. " The first pilot joined the conversation again and explained what he saw. - I don't know what it was, it was not a plane but … It was moving in the opposite direction. At this point, the A321 co-pilot also confirmed that he was seeing an unusual object. - Yes, something just flew over us, like … I don't know what it was,but it flew at least 2-3 thousand feet above us. Yes, it flew right over us, - confirmed the pilot of the A321. After that, the dispatcher tried to ask the co-pilot whether "the object was in motion, or simply hung in the air." “I can't tell if it was a ball or something, but it was directly emitting or reflecting light, moving several thousand feet above us in the opposite direction,” the pilot replied. When the dispatcher asked if it could be a Google balloon, the pilot replied: "Doubtful." This radio exchange, which lasted only about six minutes, is the only evidence of an incident that took place in the sky over Arizona, despite the fact that the unusual object was observed by two pilots at once in an area with heavy air traffic. It is known that the US aviation authorities themselves also do not have information about the nature of the object. The FAA said there were no balloon experiments or experimental aircraft flying in the area at the time. “We have no comment beyond what you've heard,” said Lynn Lunsford, a spokeswoman for the Civil Aviation Administration. - Apart from a short conversation between the two planes, the dispatcher could not check if there was any other plane in the area. We have close working relationships with a wide range of other services and carefully monitor military and civilian vessels of all types in the area every day, including high altitude weather balloons.” The American edition of The Drive, which published the recording of the talks, recalls that the area where the incident occurred is surrounded by a large number of facilities of the Ministry of Defense and the Air Force, and is known for its high activity of military aircraft, including secret ones. In December 2017, the Pentagon admitted that in recent years it had spent money on studying UFOs - according to journalists, up to $ 22 million was spent for these purposes with the involvement of a third-party firm. The confession was made after the publication in the New York Times, which revealed the amounts and details of the secret program. In response to a request from journalists, the Pentagon acknowledged the existence of this program in the past, but indicated that it had been closed. “It was decided that there were other, more important issues that deserve funding, and it was in the interest of the Department of Defense to make changes,” said Pentagon spokesman Thomas Crosson. However, according to the representative of military intelligence Luis Elizondo, in 2012 the program did not close - it just ended its funding. And even earlier, in January 2017,The US Central Intelligence Agency has published a huge number of documents that were once classified as "secret". In particular, among them were UFO records. So, for some reason, one of the messages turned out to be a TASS report on the observation of a UFO by two Lithuanian border guards on June 26, 1996.
