Pentagon Investigates UFO Near Miss With Commercial Plane Over New York

The Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is investigating a close encounter involving a commercial airplane and a UFO near New York. The near miss, reported by the airline crew, occurred over the Atlantic Ocean and is part of the Pentagon’s latest annual report on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

For this article, we’re using the term “UFO” without suggesting aliens were visiting New York. However, credible evidence points to an unidentified object, physical or metaphysical, flying through the air and possibly originating from a U.S. or foreign government facility, another planet, the ocean depths, a different dimension or a spiritual realm.

For the purposes of this article, we’re using the term “UFO,” but not implying there was a Martian in New York. But there are credible evidence of an incident involving a material or spiritual unidentified object flying through the air originating from a U.S. government facility, a foreign government’s facility, some other planet, beneath the ocean, another dimension or some ethereal realm.

The incident, described as involving a “cylindrical object,” was the only one among 757 reported cases over the past year to raise concerns about flight safety. While details such as the airline and exact timing remain undisclosed, the event underscores the importance of understanding these phenomena.

AARO’s report analyzed sightings between May 2023 and June 2024, identifying nearly 300 incidents as conventional objects like balloons, satellites, and drones. However, hundreds of sightings remain unexplained due to insufficient data or incomplete descriptions from witnesses.

Witness accounts often describe unusual objects, including spherical shapes or lights in the sky. One report even included a jellyfish-like object with flashing lights. Increasingly, sightings have been attributed to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites, which are sometimes mistaken for UFOs.

Despite the intrigue surrounding these events, the Pentagon has emphasized that none of the incidents provide evidence of extraterrestrial origins. “To date, AARO has discovered no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology,” the report stated.

This near miss highlights the critical need to study UAPs, not only to address public curiosity but to ensure aviation safety. The Pentagon’s commitment to investigating these cases reflects a broader effort to increase transparency and understanding of these unexplained phenomena.
