UFO or something else? Private jet crew encounters eerie, glowing object at 45,000 feet over the Bahamas
- A Surjet flight crew over the Bahamas encountered a glowing ‘foreign object’ at 43,000 feet. Flight attendant Cassandra Martin captured footage of the object, which emitted an electric energy field and changed from white to green before vanishing after 45 minutes.
On the night of December 23, Cassandra Martin, a flight attendant for Surjet, a private air service, and two pilots were flying back to Fort Lauderdale when they encountered a mysterious object high over the Bahamas. The crew received a message from Miami air traffic control, alerting them to a "foreign object" in the vicinity, as reported by NBC Miami.
Air Traffic Control alerts crew to "foreign object"
“All of a sudden I heard traffic control say, we have a foreign object, can you please identify,” Martin explained. She went on to describe what she saw: “I looked to the left, and the pilot saw three objects, I only saw one, and I grabbed my phone, I just pressed it to the window to see if I could get a video of what the object was.”
Object changes colors, appears to have electric energy field
The object, Martin reported, started white but soon took on a greenish hue, resembling an electric energy field. “It started as white and then it just got green and almost like an electric, some type of energy around it,” she said.
Object stays with plane for 45 minutes at high altitude
The mysterious object stayed with the plane for approximately 45 minutes, hovering at a high altitude of about 43,000 to 45,000 feet, far too high for a drone and too erratic to be a weather balloon. “The object was white, and it turned slightly green, almost kind of like it had an electric field around it of some sort, and it stayed with us for about 45 minutes,” Martin explained. “We didn’t see it again.”
Astonished crew captures footage of glowing, erratic object
NBC Miami reported that Martin, astonished by the strange sight, captured footage of the object, which shows a glowing, spherical shape darting about in the sky. The flight crew, unsure of what they were witnessing, found the encounter both eerie and fascinating.
Martin reflects on eerie encounter and unexplained sight
"I think we were astonished, and it was something that you really can’t explain but I don’t have the qualifications to know what that is,” Martin reflected, adding, “Was it a little bit eerie? Yes, because again, we were pretty high up and whatever we saw was even higher than us and it had the capabilities just to zigzag and change color, so that was a little daunting, to say the least.”
Flight crew grateful for capturing the fascinating experience
While the crew may never know what they truly saw, Martin expressed gratitude for the experience. "It’s also something fascinating that I was able to see and capture with my phone," she said.
