The Encounter
The experiencer is a retired pilot who encountered a UAP while flying a commercial flight. During the flight, he and his captain saw an object ahead that did not appear on their radar system. They observed it for about an hour. The object had no visible engines, contrails, or tail, which are typical for aircraft. They contacted air traffic control, who confirmed there were no other planes in the area. The pilot took two pictures of the object. After the encounter, he began to investigate UAPs more seriously, driven by concerns about flight safety and the need for pilots to report such sightings without stigma.
Program Intelligence Analysis

“I started looking out of my window more closely and then indeed I saw something just yeah flying ahead of us.”
I saw something just flying ahead of us and this is the object that I saw; it didn't seem to have any engines, it didn't seem to leave a contrail, it didn't seem to have a tail.
I saw a bright light falling vertically down; it illuminated the cloud layer as it fell through.
The light we saw entering the Adriatic Sea was moving at a speed of roughly 30,000 kilometers an hour.
The object we saw was flying at a significant altitude like 50,000 to 60,000 feet and was not changing direction or shape.
There is a stigma around reporting UAP sightings among pilots, which prevents them from sharing their experiences.
