The Encounter

Captain Christopher Van Voorhees is a commercial airline pilot with 35 years of experience. He reported seeing unusual lights in the sky while flying over the Pacific Ocean. He first noticed the lights between Honolulu and Los Angeles and then again between Japan and Honolulu. The lights appeared brighter than stars and moved in a non-linear fashion, unlike typical satellites. Multiple pilots observed the same phenomenon over a month. The lights did not behave like known satellites, leading Captain Van Voorhees to believe they were not in low Earth orbit. After the encounter, he expressed a desire to share his experience publicly, noting the need for better reporting systems for UAP sightings among pilots.

The account features a credible witness, a commercial airline pilot with extensive experience, discussing multiple sightings of an anomalous object. The observations are detailed and specific, with corroboration from other pilots, but lack instrumental evidence and definitive physical effects.

initial sightingunknown

The pilot and crew first notice a bright light in the sky, which appears to be stationary and brighter than stars.

we see this Bright Light which is pretty much brighter than any one of the stars or Jupiter or Saturn in the sky

extended observationdays

The pilot observes the anomaly multiple times over a month, noting its unusual behavior and brightness.

we saw it for maybe a solid month or so and then it... off and on

end of observationsunknown

The sightings cease after a period of time, with the pilot unable to locate the anomaly again.

I haven't been able to find it again
