The crew had been flying back to Fort Lauderdale on December 23rd when the encounter occurred.
On that evening, flight attendant Cassandra Martin and two pilots had been alone aboard a Surjet private air service flight over the Bahamas when something strange caught their eye.

"All of a sudden I heard traffic control say - 'we have a foreign object, can you please identify,'" Martin told NBC Miami.

"I looked to the left, and 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."

"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 and then we didn't see it again, and we were about 43, 45,000 feet and it was way above us."
The objects were far too high to be drones and moved too erratically to be balloons.

"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," said Martin.

You can check out the footage she captured below.
