Pilot reports ‘silver cannister’ UFO feet from his plane during ‘creepy’ air traffic control call: ‘Good luck with the aliens’
A recording of a “creepy” moment in which a pilot was told “good luck with the aliens” after reporting a UFO sighting to air traffic control has resurfaced, reigniting interest in the bizarre incident over Rhode Island skies.
The newly surfaced video of the live ATC broadcast captures the pilot describing the mysterious object, which he compared to a silver canister, as it floated alongside his aircraft. “It appears to be standing still,” the pilot told the ground team. “Looks like a strange, small object that we just floated by. A small silver canister. Do you know what that could be?”
After air traffic controllers said they did not know what the object was and requested more details, the pilot clarified that the UFO was mere feet from the plane in midair. “Appears to be standing still and I’m at 3,500 feet. It was right off our wingtip. Small silver canister,” he said, flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II, a five-seat aircraft.
The pilot noted that the “astonishing” object did not seem attached to anything, merely hovering in place, when asked whether it could be a drone or a balloon.
“Creepy!” the ATC team responded in the clip, followed by another operative joking, “Good luck with the aliens!” The incident, which reportedly occurred around the same time the video was posted on October 27, quickly went viral after being shared on social media.
The FAA has not responded to requests for comment.
