A passenger on a flight from Chicago (ORD) to Newark (EWR) captured footage (see below) of objects appearing far above the cloud line—at altitudes commercial planes typically cruise. While authorities have attributed these sightings to “drones,” public skepticism is mounting, as commercially available drones are not capable of reaching such extraordinary heights. The eyewitness, posting under the username “EasilyAmusedEE,” documented these mysterious objects on December 16, 2024, aboard United Airlines flight UA2359. Armed with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, they began recording roughly 20 minutes into the flight and continued to spot the objects intermittently throughout their journey.
