Civilian pilots see UFOs, it’s just that no one cares. But when a military officer reports seeing something and it’s repeated on radar, it’s a bit harder to ignore.

45,000 flights a day and fewer than two reports of unknown sightings a month.

Commercial airline pilots truly are some of the most reliable among humans.

Well it’s not like the skies are saturated with UFOs.

And it’s also not like there’s much to gain for pilots to file reports like this and single themselves out.

But there’s enough smoke to make me wonder where the fire is
