A newly released audio recording from a U.S. military pilot has reignited debates over unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), revealing a chilling mid-air encounter with a mysterious object. The recording, captured on September 17, 2024, during a Homeland Security flight, documents the pilot’s real-time reaction as an unknown football-sized object flew beneath the aircraft at 20,000 feet.
Pilot’s Reaction: ‘This Is Going to Sound Weird’
The audio, obtained by UFO Witness host Ben Hansen, captures the pilot reporting a dark, cylindrical object moving swiftly under the wing. Radar onboard the Beechcraft 350 C detected the anomaly, yet no other aircraft were reported in the area.
Air traffic control acknowledged the sighting but downplayed its significance, with one controller heard saying: “There was some UFO reported here, but that’s all taken care of now.” This dismissive response has only fueled speculation about how such incidents are handled.
Too Fast for a Drone? Experts Say It’s Unexplainable
According to Hansen, the object’s movement rules out commercial drones. Calculations indicate that for the object to move as observed, it would have had to exceed Mach 2 within two minutes—a speed far beyond the capability of most unmanned aerial vehicles.
“This wasn’t a bird, a balloon, or anything ordinary,” Hansen stated. “We’re talking about an unknown craft moving through controlled airspace at extreme speeds.”
Why the Government’s Response Is Raising Eyebrows
This latest military encounter adds to the growing number of UFO reports from pilots, fueling questions about what authorities know and why so many incidents are quickly dismissed.
The 2023 congressional hearings on UAPs, prompted by whistleblower David Grusch, brought forth explosive claims that the U.S. government has been secretly recovering nonhuman craft and biological material. However, the Department of Defense has repeatedly denied these allegations.
A Pentagon report from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office found no evidence of alien technology but did confirm the existence of Project Kona Blue—a proposed initiative to reverse-engineer unknown technology. Officials insist the program was never launched due to a lack of materials.
In the not-so-distant past, NASA’s independent review of UAPs concluded that no proof of extraterrestrial contact exists, yet the agency has urged for greater transparency and scientific study of these unexplained events. Many experts argue that the stigma around UFOs prevents pilots from coming forward, leading to gaps in data collection.
