An airline pilot claims he spotted two UFOs hovering near each other, 35,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean.
The A320 Frontier pilot captured the flying objects while in the cockpit of the plane and shared a video of them to Reddit on Monday.
He claimed the UFOs were moving at ‘incredible speeds’ and hovering in the sky ‘instantaneously’ on August 19.
In a separate post, the pilot, who goes by the username thtflyingguy, revealed he was flying right over the Grand Bahamas International Airport in Freeport when he witnessed the suspicious objects.
‘We see satellites all the time and the way these moved were not satellites,’ he said.

Flight tracking data revealed that flight FFT3572 took off from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was over the ocean at the same altitude the pilot reported.
In his first post, the pilot said: ‘I’m an Airline pilot and was flying over the Atlantic Ocean when me and captain spotted these orb of lights that kept moving around each other and one point we saw them move at incredible speeds and stop and hover instantaneously.’
‘It was at that moment I took out my phone to record them. Throughout the night we kept seeing them.
‘One would show up then another out of nowhere. I have another video showing two of them and I turn the camera showing another group to the South,’ he added.
In a consecutive post showing the metadata of his video, the pilot wrote: ‘For all those asking here is the location and time my iPhone says we were at the time I recorded the video.
‘We were traveling at about 512 knots at flight level 350 going Northwest over the Atlantic. The location the GPS in my phone shows us just over Grand Bahamas International Airport.’

Users quickly flocked under his posts as some of them revealed they’ve witnessed something similar before.

‘I saw something like that here in Kissimmee FL two weeks ago and by the time I pulled out my phone it was gone,’ one wrote.
‘I’ve seen this before. What’s the consensus on it? Seen in mountain west,’ another said.
Others weren’t as impressed and doubted the pilot’s findings, with one claiming it was a ‘balloon’ in the sky.
‘It’s not moving abnormally so probably drones,’ wrote another user.
Although the pilot reported that the floating objects were UFO’s, there is something called twinkling stars that look similar.
Twinkling stars are known to reflect rainbow-like colors caused by the passing of light through layers of a turbulent atmosphere. It is unclear if this is what the pilot saw.
‘We generally take pilots at their word when they say they see something unusual, as they are highly trained and used to identifying all kinds of things in the sky,’ Christian Stepien with the National UFO Reporting Center told DailyMail.com.

‘The ability of an object to move at incredible speeds, then stop and hover instantly, is one of the signs of a true UFO.
‘Unfortunately, the video does not show this, so it is difficult to come to any conclusions from the video alone,’ he added.
Recently, local Californians panicked after watching a UFO ‘zig zagged’ and hovered over two cities north of Los Angeles.
Their reports of a ‘bright light’ that looked like ‘a shooting star’ but acted more like a ‘hovercraft’ sparked shockwaves across social media — alongside the emergence of eerie cell phone videos that purported to capture some of these six alleged craft.
But a wide community of experts, including UFO researchers with Harvard’s Galileo Project, told DailyMail.com that the videos were most likely ‘an intentional hoax.’
The videos appeared to show drone swarms used in an LED light show thousands of miles away from California, based on landmarks and other visual cues, they said.
And some of these UFO videos were paired with old and unrelated audio tracks passed off as the videos’ own.
Electrical engineer John Tedesco, who runs a lab affiliated with Harvard’s Galileo Project, told DailyMail.com: ‘The first two videos seem a bit suspicious to me.
The wide open spaces of Montana have been named the top state where you are most likely to have a close encounter, as half of locals claim to have seen a UFO, according to a new study
‘The patterns of longitudinal lights are well-organized. This could be drone swarms.’
However, he admitted: ‘The quality of the video doesn’t give us much to work with.’
For those looking to get a glimpse at a UFO, the wide open spaces of Montana are the best place to do so.
People are most likely to get a close encounter with a UFO in the state nicknamed ‘Big Sky Country,’ a new study claimed.
The findings are sure to be a surprise to residents of Nevada, home to the legendary classified US Air Force base and Ufology mainstay Area 51: their state did not even crack the Top 10 in the study, which integrated sightings with other regional data.
Other chart-toppers included the state of Massachusetts, as data collected from Google searches shows that the New England state is the most UFO-obsessed in America, with 13,750 monthly Google queries related to the topic (or 19.64 searches per 10,000 people). But New York and New Jersey were not far behind.
