Those aboard an American Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Phoenix on February 22 saw what the pilot described as a fast moving "long cylindrical object" during the flight. The Daily Mail.

According to The Drive, the meeting, which took place 36 feet (000 meters) above remote northeastern New Mexico, west of Des Moines, involved an Airbus A10 on Flight AA972.

In a radio transmission allegedly intercepted by Steve Douglas, who runs the Deep Black Horizon blog, the pilot can be heard telling Albuquerque air traffic control: “Do you have any targets here? Something just got out of our control. "I hate to say it, but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile of sorts - moving very quickly right above us."

The aircraft was reported to have been traveling at about 460 mph (740 km / h) at the time.

There was no significant military aircraft presence in the area at the time, Douglas said, and it was reported that it was at around 13:00 local time.

Flight AA2292 landed in Phoenix without incident.

This encounter has many similarities to another incident that occurred in the same area just under three years ago. Then two pilots on different planes - a Learjet and an Airbus - reported a close encounter with a mysterious object flying above them.

Observations occurred at intervals of several minutes on February 24, 2018 at 37 feet (000 meters) above southern Arizona, near New Mexico.

The pilot of Phoenix Air's Learjet 36, hull number N71PG, reported the initial sighting, telling air traffic control: "Was there anyone who flew over us 30 seconds ago?"

When the controller said no, the pilot laughed, insisting that it was a UFO.

“I don’t know what it was, it wasn’t a plane, but it was... it was going in the opposite direction,” the pilot continued.

Moments later, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 1095 reported a similar encounter, stating, “Yes, something just flew over us, I don't know what it was. But he was at least two to three thousand feet (600-900 meters) taller than us. Yes, it went right over us. "

When asked if the object was moving or hovering, the pilot replied, “I couldn't make out if it was a balloon or something else. But it was really just a shining light, or it could have had a large reflection and was several thousand feet taller than us in the opposite direction. "

This pilot, Blenus Green, later told local media, “It was very bright, but not so bright that you couldn't look at it ... It didn't look like an airplane. You know, on most aircraft you will see some kind of wing surface, some type of tail, no matter what kind of plane it is. The strange thing is: usually, if there is an object and the sun is shining in this direction, the reflection will be on this side, but it was bright in all directions. It was so bright that it was impossible to make out what shape it was. "

The pilot's description of the object coincides with information on a number of encounters with anomalous objects off the east coast, which have occurred, according to the reports of the US Navy pilots, over the past 15 years.

Many of these encounters were revealed in a 2019 New York Times report, in which Navy pilots first spoke of how strange objects appear in their training airspace, sometimes all day long, challenging known propulsion and aerodynamic capabilities.

What the pilots of Flight 2292 AA may have seen on February 21 remains unclear.

According to The Drive, the incident took place not too far from the vast White Sands missile range, and in New Mexico itself there are a number of military installations and restricted areas.

The likelihood that the missile could "fly out of the armor" during testing or any other military exercise is low, since the pilots would be notified in advance of any such safety threat.

The incident also took place close to the MOA, but the pilots would again be warned in advance.
