Introduction 

It is quite common today that reports of unidentified flying objects are reported by plane passengers and crew. In the report below we have the eyewitness testimony of a pilot who was a passenger at the time. This make the details of the report very believable.

With reports like this being probably a drop-in-the-bucket of what really exists, one must wonder just how much activity there is above us.

We have a number of great UFO-plane reports on our web site. Be sure to see Foo-fighters of WWII, The Chiles-Whitted Encounter, UFO-Plane Near Miss and Gorman Encounter.

Flight to Tuscon, Arizona - December 3, 2012

A pilot who was an American Airlines passenger (deadheading crew) about 8:30 p.m. on November 29, 2012, reported watching "multiple objects emitting amber light" as the aircraft was at or below 18,000 feet, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.  

The term deheading relates to the activity of carrying crew members who are off-duty to a location that will be their next assignment. The witness was on Flight 1379 from Dallas to Tucson and was "looking out over the right wing of the plane" on a clear, moonlit night, when the objects were first seen. 

Several Objects of Light

"While the aircraft was descending approximately 60 miles east of Tucson, approximately at or below 18,000 feet, I observed several light objects in the sky," the witness stated. "The location was approximately Mount Graham near Safford, AZ)." 

The witness first thought the light was from another plane.  "I first noticed the brightly lit object when it was joined by a second object same size and color light. I first thought it was a plane turning in the sky and was very curious because of the proximity of the second object, then one of the lights turned off and then on again and that is when I knew this was strange." 

The witness then noticed more lights in the sky.  "Almost immediately a third, fourth, fifth and sixth light appeared in the sky, not all in a straight line, but somewhat aligned horizontally. I would estimate within a mile separation of each other end to end."  

Witness Explains his Background 

"I am a pilot and engineer. I have much experience identifying aircraft at night. This was absolutely not an aircraft light or flares dropped by military planes. In fact, the amber colored objects did not appear to move and were higher than our plane. I know this because they were well above the horizon, higher in the sky. I would estimate above 20,000 feet."  

Lights Hovered in Place  

"The objects were not moving, but turning on and off in short duration like someone flipped a switch. I only saw all six lights on at the same time once, after that it was down to two or three, then only one on and off with a five to 15 second duration over a period of three or four minutes. I was able to call attention to the person sitting next to me and that person also saw the last one illuminate and disappear in the sky over the wing."
