An airline passenger flying out of New York City captured remarkably clear footage of a saucer-shaped object zipping past the plane at an incredible speed. The tantalizing video was reportedly recorded this past Monday on a flight from NYC to Florida and subsequently popped up on Reddit by way of a friend of the person who filmed the peculiar anomaly. In the footage, as the airliner ascends over the city, there is a split-second moment wherein something strange crosses the sky outside the window of the plane. When the footage is slowed down or paused (as seen in the presentation above or isolated below), one can see that the oddity is a black, saucer-shaped object.
As one might imagine, there has been considerable feedback to the footage online with all manner of theories being put forward as to what the weird anomaly could have been. Beyond the extraterrestrial hypothesis, some have suggested that it could be some kind of clandestine military craft, while others have argued that it might be a balloon that appears to be moving fast due to the speed of the aircraft. Another possibility is that the UFO is a small piece of the plane that somehow came flying off, which is a scenario that might be more worrisome than an alien invasion these days. What do you think the passenger filmed over the Big Apple? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.
