The perplexing incident occurred over Egypt during a recent routine flight of a Boeing 747 airliner.
They say that pilots make for some of the best witnesses of the UFO phenomenon and this latest sighting, which was filmed and uploaded by Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan during a routine flight over Egypt, is certainly one of the most interesting we've seen in a while.

The footage, which was recorded at around 5am local time, shows a bright light that seemed to dance around outside the cockpit and that was observed by several members of the flight crew.

The video shows the object appearing, disappearing and moving around over an extended period of time.

"We thought the light was a plane, but it wasn't on our radar," the captain said.

"Then we thought maybe it was a star, but the stars twinkled quickly and the stars didn't move."
He also went on to rule out the possibility that the object was a satellite due to its strange movements.

"The light of the UFO in front of us moves freely," he noted.

The footage, which you can view below, is definitely worth a watch and unlike many UFO videos these days, it doesn't try to oversell the sighting but instead offers it up as a fascinating, light-hearted mystery.

"Please figure it out yourself, maybe you can identify th[e] flying object," the caption states.

The UFO shows up at around 20:53 on the video - everything before that is routine activity.

What do you think best explains this sighting ?

Either none of you watched the vid (most likely), or you need white canes. Venus doesn't blink off, and on, on a clear night. Talk about rapt skepticism. Venus doesn't move either. I'd sooner trust the pilots account than you lot of armchair experts.

Any chance it could be Starlink flares? https://www.metabunk.org/threads/captain-rudd-flight-starlink-uap.13598/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08155

That makes a bit more sense than the old Venus trope.

It does if it's disappearing in cloud cover or over the horizon. It wasn't a clear night, you can see a haze on the horizon.

Whatever, dude. ? At best we got tiny white dots in the night sky. As a pilot myself I can safely say that this was not even close to interesting... as far as ET visitation goes.

  Absolutely.  Douglas Buettner (University of Utah) led a study, presented at the 4th IAA Conference on Space Situational Awareness, that examined a case of five pilots in two commercial aircraft flying trans-Pacific routes who saw several bright moving objects. The pilots took two cell phone photos and a video While the pilots reported these objects as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” Buettner and his colleagues used aircraft flight data as well as satellite ephemerides to identify these objects as part of a closely spaced train of Starlink satellites, launched earlier that day. https...

The mainstream media has trained us to create justifications to explain any unexplainable sighting. It is hard to get people to think outside of the disproving box now.

yep, these days it's difficult to get rational thinking folk to think outside of this disproving box you refer to without reason to do so....i'd say this is progression- thanks for pointing it out ?

Could I ask what you mean by that? How has "mainstream media" done that? I would say it's simply just that people have different standards for believing or accepting something, or that some people would rather be able to disprove possibilities they know exist before believing in something extraordinary. I don't think that is being "trained by mainstream media", it's just being rational. As an aside, and not specifically aimed at this post, it seems to me that whenever the word "mainstream" is used in this sense (usually followed by "media" or "science"), it is quite often used by those with...
