Both pilots had contacted air traffic control to report that they had spotted something unusual in the sky.
The incident was brought to light recently by 17-year-old aviation journalist Shaun Dunne who picked up the radio messages being exchanged by the pilots of two separate planes.

The first pilot contacted air traffic control at around 00:30 on May 29th to report a bright, unidentified object, stating: "it was there then it went" and that "it was almost like it was staying still then it went really quickly."

A second pilot then chipped in to state that they had also witnessed the anomalous object.

Both pilots ended the conversation with a suitably humorous exchange:

"I've never seen something amazing like that before," said one.
"You obviously haven't seen my landings," the other replied.

"Well how do I say this, you haven't seen mine either," the first pilot added.

Afterward, both planes continued to their original destinations without further incident.

So what did they see that night that prompted them both to contact air traffic control ?

Sadly, we will probably never know.

They said they didn't know what it was. I completely believe that. Who declared them experts? Have you ever seen hot gas through an infrared camera? I have and that's how it looks. Sorry that it has a mundane explanation. Once again UFOlogists claim the government is covering up everything but then tell us to believe what the government is saying about UFOs.

I make no claims about the government covering up anything about UFO's. Stating they don't know what unidentified aerial phenomena is and describing an incident involving a UFO is not a coverup.  For you to believe that a top gun trained fighter pilot doesn't recognize exhaust from another plane in IR is ridiculous.  What you are suffering from is the Dunning Kruger effect in which a person with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.  You certainly do not know more about this than an expert fighter pilot, the radar technicians that tracked the tic tac objec...

For you to believe that a pilot can't misidentify another plane is ridiculous. Have you never heard of "friendly fire"? Pilots make mistakes every day. They're not gods. You haven't explained how this image couldn't be the exhaust from the back of jet plane even though that's exactly what it looks like. Why not? That should be easy, right? My friend what you are suffering from is the authority fallacy. You have no confidence in your own abilities therefore you instantly accept whatever statement an authority figure tells you to believe and in fear you cling to those beliefs rejecting what your...

  Its almost like they are cherry picking the stuff that supports their fantasy?

Dunning Kruger Effect. Consider changing your name to that. Watch the video again.  It changes between IR and other modes. I am not suffering from any authority fallacy, your argument is weak.  You have your opinion.  It's wrong.  Have a good day

I'll stick with the Navy pilot who was actually there and the radar data from the US Navy.  Thanks.  This subject is does not interest me enough to watch a 24 minute video about it.

If you really are interested in this.. then maybe you should take 20 minutes and watch it again. They cover both the pilots testimony and the tech in great detail.

@Hazzard I did look into the Podcast that is the source of your video, possibly I may watch it later when I have the time.  Thank you.
