When we fly, our trust is in the hands of the pilots who are getting us from one place to another. However, it is not always up to pilots, as they encounter some unusual and quite frankly spooky stuff too. We’ve dug a little and found out that there are multiple cases of pilots actually experiencing and seeing UFOs while flying. Check the 5 most bizarre cases in our list of ten UFO encounters reported by commercial airline pilots.

In 1989, Andrew Danziger flew a plane from Kansas City to Waterloo, Iowa. During his flight he saw a white disc visible through clouds. The disc soon turned into a red ball that tracked the plane. As the plane ascended, the ball disappeared and a huge burst of light erupted in the sky.

In 2007, Captain Ray Bowyer was flying an plane from Southampton to Alderney when he noticed a series of UFOs near the British island of Guernsey. First, they looked like yellow discs and then they turned green. They were floating in the air and Bowyer estimated they were a mile wide.

A sparkly blue-and-white object was reported by three different pilots in China in 2011. It was oval-shaped and floated in the sky, following the plane before disappearing into the clouds. The experience was almost the same for three completely different pilots on separate flights and different locations.

As an Aerolineas Argentinas flight was landing at Bariloche Airport in 1995, a huge disc appeared in front of it that went against the laws of physics. The pilot had to take evasive maneuvers to escape it. It was later blamed on the weather, but the traffic control officers confessed the control instruments acted completely crazy during the incident.
