Plane passenger spots ‘flying cylinder UFO’ out her window

A mother sitting with her daughter by an airplane window looked out over New York City and saw what looked to possibly be a flying cylinder UFO.

Michelle Reyes recorded video of the mysterious dark and elongated oval-looking object above LaGuardia Airport and sent it federal authorities.

‘When I realized I had something like this on the video, the first thing I did was email the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to let them know what I saw,’ she told News Nation’s Banfield show on Wednesday night.

‘Maybe it was a safety hazard. I reached out to them. Unfortunately I haven’t heard back from them, they didn’t acknowledge my email.’




Reyes also showed the footage with her father, who served the US Navy.



‘He had no idea. He was just as baffled as I was,’ she said. ‘He thought it may be a drone but he didn’t think it should be where it was, that close to the aircraft.’

Ben Hansen, TV host of UFO Witness on discovery+, said his team analyzed Reyes’ video and found ‘no evidence that she faked this or hoaxed it’.

‘It’s very clear, which is unusual, so to me I feel as though this is probably something not terribly far in the distance,’ said Hansen.

He added that there are problems with the theory that it was merely an insect because ‘we’re talking about 200 miles per hour at this point, her jet, so it passes in about a seventh of a second and it’s present in five frames of the video’.

NewsNation host Ashleigh Banfield opined that it did not look like an insect but rather more like Tic Tacs that at least one former US Navy pilot has claimed to see.

Reyes said she also shared the clip with the national UFO database and Enigma Labs, which was the only organization that responded. She also said there was another witness.

‘One of the other moms on the flight, she said that she had noticed it when she was in the air, so I wasn’t the only one who saw it,’ Reyes said.

‘So it was kind of a little more like nerve-racking that someone else also saw what I saw.’
