He had been flying over Jacksonville, Florida on his way to Daytona and the only other person in the aircraft was his pilot.

"So, it's black... and I see a light that is solid white light, looks solid light that's not flashing, and that could only be like a landing light is the only thing that would make sense would be a spotlight looking light like that, and it would have to be far away because I couldn't see the green and red-wing tip lights," he recalled.

"So, I keep it in my eye, I keep checking up there and checking up there and it gets closer and closer, I didn't say anything to (pilot) Jason (Simpson) I'm just flying along."

"Finally, I just start, I fixate on it. Plane's on autopilot... and so I'm fixated on it and it gets closer and closer and closer and then it gets like, 'Oh my God, we're going to hit that!.""And I grabbed the yolk and kicked it off autopilot and was getting ready to jerk the plane to the right and Jason was like, 'What?' And I said, 'Look!'"

"We both saw this and almost, we thought we were going to hit it. Then it starts pulling away, gradually pulling away, slowly pulling away."

Eerily, after the sighting, air traffic control confirmed that there had been no other aircraft present at the time.

So what was the anomalous object that Martin's plane nearly hit that day ?

We will probably never know for sure.
