The Encounter

Christian van Heist is a Dutch airline pilot with over 9,500 flight hours. He shared an encounter while flying at 30,000 feet. He and his co-pilot saw a very bright light moving vertically downwards at a high speed. They initially thought it might be a military activity or a volcanic eruption. Christian took photos to document the event. After some research, he speculated that the light could have come from illegal fishing boats. This experience made him more aware of unexplained phenomena in the sky. He continues to document and analyze unusual sightings, noting that many pilots are hesitant to discuss such encounters.
