Appearance / Description of Object(s)2-3 times bigger than a regular star at night. You could tell it was some sort of metal judging from its shinyness and siler look. You could definetly tell that it was round. It moved in different patterns while the plane seemed to stay on the same path. Also Judging by how far away it was probably I would say at least 200 feet across such as a diameter would be. Size of Object(s)It was probably about 200 feet across judging by how far away but the 200 feet across is by how a diameter Distance to Object(s) & Altitude80,000 feet in the air, seeing it from about 32,000 feet to 36,000 feet. Description of Area / SurroundingsIt was above land about quarter to half way between Salt Lake City, Utah and Cancun, Mexico Full Description & DetailsI was flying back from my Spring Break trip to Cancun, Mexico and while on the flight back to Salt Lake City, Utah at about I would say 36,000 feet or so (pretty high up there becuase you could tell from it being about 12:00 P.M. day light and it starting to look a little darker up there). I saw a roundish object I would estimate at about probably 80,000 feet becuase of its size out size my window up and to the side of the plane. This was somewhere between quarter of the way to almost half way to Salt Lake. I was sitting on the plane watching the end of the movie the Incredibles and so it was showing the credits and so I figured thats kind of boring to watch so I decided to look out side of the window to see if I could tell where we were. I just happened to look up towards the stars and I saw this metallic roudish object off in the distance. I then told my friend to hurry and check this out figuring it to maybe be a satellite. So he looked over and since it happened to be in the distance about 2 to 3 times bigger than a regular star you would see at night and him not wearing his contacts it made it rather difficult for him to see. Then all of a sudden it started moving around in different type of patterns. I then hurried through my carry-on bag to get my disposable camera, but by the time I had gotten my camera it was gone. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?All though it could have been a Satellite, I do not think that a Satellite could make the different patterns in the air that it did, while the plane seemed to be on a steady course. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingBefore seeing it I had heard things about sightings from Television shows and figured it could be possible considering that there has to be something other than just humans out there in the Universe. After I have decided to read other peoples stories to see if they relate to mine, and I will believe to this day. Other CommentsI would rather not put my name or any other information other than Email and State on this. Reported Sighting?YesReported To:I said that I saw something in the air to my friend and his parents and the flight attendent, but they said, "That they did not see it and thought it probably was maybe a satellite.Your Location:ID, USA |
