American Airlines pilot reports seeing a ‘UFO’ fly over plane
A pilot on a Phoenix-bound American Airlines flight radioed that an unidentified object flew over the plane in New Mexico on Sunday.
At approximately 1:19 p.m. CST, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 2292 from Cincinnati reported, “Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us,” according to a radio transmission recorded by a blogger, Steve Douglass, and uploaded on Douglass’ blog, Deep Black Horizon.
“I hate to say this — looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast. It went right over the top of us,” the pilot said in the radio transmission.
American Airlines has confirmed that the radio transmission is from American Airlines Flight 2292.
“Following a debrief with our flight crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21,” according to a statement from American Airlines.

The Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers didn’t see any object in the area on their radarscopes; according to a statement from FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor.
Could it have been a missile? Scott Stearns, director of public affairs at White Sands Missile Range; said the range conducted no tests on Sunday and that “we never test in that area.”
A Holloman Air Force Base spokesperson told The Republic; they would look into the issue but did not respond in time for publication.
similarly, an incident happened in Pakistan back in January, where PIA pilots had spotted a mysterious object flying. It was termed as a UFO but later dismissed by Javed Sami, Punjab University space scientist; confirming that the mysterious object was a lenticular cloud.
