The Encounter

The person in this account is Mark Halsey, a retired Marine Corps F-18 pilot and current commercial pilot. He had a UAP encounter while flying at 47,000 feet over the California coast at midnight. He observed multiple lights in the sky, which appeared to move in a coordinated manner. He attempted to contact air traffic control to report the lights but was informed that there were no military operations in the area. After the encounter, he received a call from a supervisor at the Los Angeles center, who informed him that the radar data from the incident was damaged. This experience led Halsey to feel a sense of urgency to share his story and advocate for better reporting mechanisms for UAP sightings among pilots.
