UFO sighting? Fort Lauderdale flight crew spots something strange in the sky (video of object at source)

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.

"darting about too much to be a weather balloon."

And also glowing a little too much. You can't distinguish any darting from the shaking of the cell phone, however. It's also out of focus when zoomed in. Could be anything. If it was visible for 45 minutes, why are we seeing only a few seconds of footage?

A Michelle Obama sighting isn’t a UFO sighting.

She said she held her phone up against the window, so I don’t think it was shaking.

The available reports do not specify how Miami air traffic control initially became aware of the unidentified object observed by the Surjet flight crew on December 23, 2024. The flight attendant, Cassandra Martin, mentioned that during their flight, she heard air traffic control say, "We have a foreign object, can you please identify."

However, the exact method by which air traffic control detected the object—whether through radar, reports from other aircraft, or other means—is not detailed in the available information.

But the phone could not have been flat against the window, unless the UFO was within a very narrow frame of view. Any time you aim a cell phone, whether it’s pressing against something or not, there’s going to be some shaking. In any case, there’s not much to tell without a lot of additional explanation, other than it’s a whitish-green light. Like a lot of UFO photos.

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

Obviously, it was edited for content.

I don't think anyone wants to sit and watch a white dot for 45 minutes.

The best approach is to close your eyes when one of these things approach.

Then you won’t have to worry about being called a kook.

Yep. I saw something a bit weird in the sky once, but I regret it every time I tell someone because it’s always me they question rather than the thing I saw. But in this case there was another witness so I know it’s not just me.

I have never seen anything.

That is absolute proof that nobody else has either.

Lol.

I wish NBC Miami had followed up with air traffic control. It would be nice to know if this object appeared on radar or if ATC learned about it from other aircraft reports.

I know ATC is reticent about making public comments on UFO, but perhaps someone would have gone off the record.

Jane Roberts (Seth) says they are interdimensional objects.

I know someone who has seen a UFO up close and personal. And this is not someone who has any interest in such stuff (saw it with her mother and friends while driving).
