UFO sighting? Fort Lauderdale flight crew spots something strange in the sky (video of object at source)
nbcmiami.com ^ | 1/9/2025 | Ari Odzer

On the night of Dec. 23, a flight crew was flying back to Fort Lauderdale in an empty jet, high over the Bahamas, when they spotted a glowing, spherical object darting about too much to be a weather balloon.

The aerospace world is full of flying machines that we all recognize, but sometimes, people see things in the sky that defy explanation.

“It started as white and then it just got green and almost like an electric, some type of energy around it,” said Cassandra Martin, a flight attendant for Surjet, a private air service.

On the night of Dec. 23, Martin says she and two pilots were flying back to Fort Lauderdale in an empty jet, high over the Bahamas, when Miami air traffic control sent a message.

“All of a sudden I heard traffic control say, we have a foreign object, can you please identify,” Martin explained. “I looked to the left, and pilot saw three objects, I only saw one, and I grabbed my phone, I just pressed it to the window to see if I could get a video of what the object was. I don’t know what it was, and then I zoomed in as much as the phone allowed me to. And the object was white, and it turned slightly green, almost kind of like it had an electric field around it of some sort, and it stayed with us for about 45 minutes and then we didn’t see it again, and we were about 43, 45 thousand feet and it was way above us.”

That’s far too high to be a drone, and the video shows a glowing, spherical object darting about too much to be a weather balloon.

“Semantics at best.”

Nope. You implied they were the same thing. And don’t try to fog up the mistake with theological deflections.

"I don't think the FAA radars can detect that far. "

Did you see the radar? Did you hear the air traffic controller audio? Did you hear the testimony of the pilot and co-pilot?

All you have is some woman you don't know and can't vouch for who said the encounter lasted for 45 minutes but only has 10 seconds of shaky and blurry video and there's no audio with pilot and co-pilot cross talk with this woman.

Something is going on and somebody knows what it is. But nobody’s talking....

These ET craft are not going away despite the best efforts of the current government and others to ignore them. We should not have long to wait. What we all need to do now more than ever is pray for Trump’s courage, wisdom, and safety in confronting this matter. It’s not the ETs he has to worry about.

There was a recent midair collision with “something” at 27,000’ off the Florida coast.

Report: Gulfstream Hits ‘Metallic’ Object at 27,000 Feet

Multiple news reports are circulating about an incident involving a Gulfstream G550 that apparently struck an unidentified “metallic” object at 27,000 feet off the Florida coast on Dec. 11, 2024. The business jet, registered to what appears to be a financial trust at a Utah bank, departed from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) en route to Westchester County Airport (KHPN) near New York City.

Ryan Graves, self-identified as a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot and cofounder and executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, said a “whistleblower” reported that the object penetrated fan blades and damaged internal engine components, leading to engine failure. Graves said, “The report is being classified as an 'incident and not an 'accident,' which would require a public announcement, investigation by NTSB, and an explanation.” One report cited a large circular indentation on the leading edge of the engine nacelle.

The aircraft, registered N553RB, made a safe emergency landing with two pilots and one passenger on board at Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI). Graves’ organization is self-described as a “nonprofit organization dedicated to aerospace safety and national security with a focus on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).”

With all the stars, planets, galaxies in the heavens what makes anyone think we should be the only life form.

OK, you've made your point. It never happened and the woman fabricated the whole story for reasons known only to herself.

Time for you to move on because we here who believe her are going to continue to discuss it and we don't need your ignorant interruptions......

Thanks for your cooperation.

If there is another civilization out there, it's unrealistic to believe they are only at the same level of scientific technology as we are.

For all we know, they could be only a thousand years more advanced than us. Look how far we have advanced in just the past 100 years. I can't even begin to think what technology will be discovered in the next 500 years, let alone another 1,000 years.

I would sure like to see it tho......

That's a fascinating account. Lucky for them that the Gulfstream G550 is a twin engine aircraft.

And as to the whistleblower account, Ryan Graves is a credible source.

BTW, you might want to post that as its own thread.

The NY Post and NBC Miami likely sought to amplify the story by incorporating the pilots’ accounts. However, despite the diminishing stigma surrounding UFO discussions, it remains strong enough to discourage pilots from speaking on the record.

There is only light and dark, evil and righteousness, there is no middle ground. A fallen angel can only be on/from the dark side, same as a demon.
_______________________________________
How do you know that the as yet undefined is evil? Until we know otherwise we should presume that as God’s creation all is good. Remember, God created the heavens and the earth - that includes the entire ever expanding and outward accelerating vast universe - all that is. Lucifer and his demonic band of angels were also created as good, but this arrogant angel and his followers rebelled believing themselves superior to God and they were cast out of heaven to earth - not elsewhere in his vast universe. We must deal with Lucifer’s evil here on earth as it manifests itself through his earthly minions. That’s why the world is in such disarray and that’s why we need to seek strength from the Good Lord every day to face the evil.

"always wondered what UFO’s are "

UFOs are misidentified planes, drones, floating lanterns, stars, planets, and a variety of other stuff.

Spoken like a true leader.

When a person says, "Yep, I was wrong," it gives courage to others.

What you just did gives me courage. Thanks.:-)

Those are the ones whose identities have been verified..

You fail to mention the sightings which there is no explanation for, thus the accurately labled UAP's.......

Give it up thread troll, you're not proving nor debunking anything that we are discussing.........

In fact, you're becoming an increasing pain in the ass with your comments.

Nobody here cares what you have to say, you're just trolling for companionship now..........

Thread hijackers used to be frowned upon when FR had some semblance of proper decorum.

Good work.

The trolls on the UFO threads are skeered that there might be something to this stuff. They think they can change reality if they can just kill a thread and keep folks from discussing it.

And the newbies are the most shameless.

When someone feels uneasy about the topic of conversation, they might redirect their discomfort onto something less threatening, like the speaker's hand gestures. This is a classic example of displacement, a psychological defense mechanism.

Such a comment might be a trolling action.

Are you a troll?

The only thing worse is the retards such as yourself, who refuse to accept the fact that threads such as this are not advocating the existence of UFO's, but rather accepting the fact that there are UAP's flying that no one can explain their existence or what they are about.

What frightens you about that harmless concept?
