A photographer for a television station in Albany, N.Y., caught an unusual object on his camera while shooting a story for the local 10 p.m. news, according to a Local 6 News story.
Brandon Mowry filmed the fast-moving unidentified metallic flying object Oct. 20 while shooting a weather story.
Mowry said that he didn't notice the fast-moving object zooming across the sky until he went back to his station and watched the video.
The television station sent their tapes to the FBI and now an investigation is under way to determine exactly what the object is.
"It seems to be long and narrow and symmetrical and traveled at a high speed," retired U.S. Air Force pilot Graham Pritchard said. "However the fact that that was not reflecting any kind of light that was more like a shadow type appearance and the little white dots on each sides of it are not similar to any kind of missile that I have seen."
The FAA said that the object never showed up on local radar.
I'm not a UFO buff as I don't believe extra-terrestrial life to exist, but whatever that thing was was haulin' ass that's for sure.
If it was a missile and if it had hit the plane instead of the apparent near miss(hard to say by the photos), we would be hearing about the 2nd incidence of a center fuel tank explosion.
Check that. Passing above the clouds on the LEFT hand side of the picture at the end of the video.Agree. In one of the final frames, the tail end of the object is masked by the cloud.
