The Encounter

Eric Delgado is a veteran pilot who had a UFO encounter while flying a cargo route from Mexico to Tennessee. During the flight at 37,000 feet, he saw a spinning light that he initially thought was another plane. The light approached and hovered near his aircraft, pulsing in brightness without any sound or visible wings. Eric and his co-pilot were shocked and confused, as their instruments did not detect the object. Eric filmed the encounter, noting its unusual movements and colors before it suddenly vanished. This experience changed Eric's perspective on UFOs, leading him to report the sighting and share his footage, significantly impacting his beliefs about unidentified aerial phenomena.
