A leaked audio from the US Air Force recorded a pilot’s encounter with a UFO in California airspace in September of last year.
A pilot from the US Air Force, identified as Troy 21, reported encountering a UFO in California’s controlled airspace on September 17, 2024. A leaked audio recorded the incident.
Troy 21 was piloting a Beechcraft 350 C on a secret mission for the US Department of Homeland Security when he claimed to have passed near a UFO “the size of a football” at 6,000 meters altitude.
“This is going to sound strange, but something just passed under my wing. Maybe an object the size of a football right under my wing,” the pilot reported to the controller, according to the audio obtained by NewsNation.
The air traffic controller mentions reports of a “UFO” before stating that the matter “has been resolved.”
Former FBI agent and UFO investigator Ben Hansen explained that the pilot’s aircraft was equipped with an extremely sensitive and complex radar system, used for tracking drug traffickers.
Hansen said it is “debatable” whether the radar could detect something so small at that distance. If that were the case, the object would have been flying at a speed twice the speed of sound.
This is absolutely incredible.. A football sized UAP passes right underneath a passenger planes wing. It was caught by pilots, video, and sensors. @NewsNation #ufotwitter #ufoX #uaptwitter #UAP pic.twitter.com/bdVfAOlQmd
