UFO Sighting Report

Date:

September, 1998

Location:

New York, United States

Summary:

Sitting just behind wing, shuttle jet flight, one other male saw same thing. on starboard side of plane. going in and out of the clouds the plane hit an open/clear spot in the clouds and the object was just stationary off the wing as we passed by. looked, as i can remember it, as a large, satellite looking, metal object, looked complicated/high tech. Seemed too close to the plane that the pilot would of not tried to avoid it, rather than passing right by it.

1:00 pm est

Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

2

Duration: 

3-4 seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Appeared like a weather type of satellite, hovering since we moved past it, it stayed in position because the clouds all around, it would of entered the clouds as we did, if it had been moving. was silver, metallic and large, maybe as long and wide as one of the planes wings. Did not appear to have a tether or balloon above. appeared to be in a clearing in the clouds, on purpose. seemed purposeful, it was "in between" all the clouds that we were going in and out of, and the clouds were very thick that day. We were popping in and out of them.

Size of Object(s)

could cover it with my hand. appeared the size of one of the planes wings. stationary, and very close considering it was a passanger shuttle jet plane landing through the clouds.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I suppose the area in NYC/NJ area has many things around it on the ground in that area. Was a bright sun, filtered, cloud diffused, natural light. no reflections off the plane or the object. could see very clearly, viewed about 3-4 seconds as we went by it. could not see the ground. puffy clouds we were going in and out of here and there in short spurts. When i saw this there were very few people on the plane and i looked back a few seats behind me and another gentleman looking out just said "yep, i saw it too".

Full Description & Details

said most everything in the other boxes.........

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

was not a natural object. Had to be manufactured. A satellite, in normal air, with gravity, hovering, in some clear air between cloud breaks. It looked as if a satellite was hovering there.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

i have always followed UFO's as an interest i have always had since boyhood. Have talked to relitives and others who believe or have thought they have seen things also. I basically think it was a manufactured object but what is strange is, it was so close to the plane that i would of thought the pilots would have attempted not to go so close to something they know about, but seemed to me they did not know it either. also it seemed like a rather large metallic object with different protrusions coming off it that there was no evidence to me of any known way to propel/hover/tether itself. why was it in a small cloud break and not half or fully in the clouds, but in a clear area. I keep an open mind on this stuff and don't try and jump to conclusions but i believe it is possible there are "others" out there. I also know we have secret projects. But until i am shaking hands with "them" then i guess i need that kind of proof. I always read what is out there, and some is good and some stuff appears bad. Wish i knew !!
