Flight Crew 'Astonished' to See Glowing Objects 'Zig-Zagging' at 45K Feet Over the Bahamas [View all]

A Florida-bound flight crew witnessed strange orbs glowing and darting around in the night sky while flying over the Bahamas at high altitude.

“All of a sudden I heard traffic control say, we have a foreign object, can you please identify,” Flight Attendant Cassandra Martin recounted.


The flight attendant with Surjet, a private carrier, claimed that she and two pilots saw objects that left them awestruck and searching for answers as they returned to Fort Lauderdale in an empty plane. Good thing her Smartphone was handy.

“It started as white and then it just got green and almost like an electric some type of energy around it.”


The veteran airline worker described the objects as changing in color and exhibiting “daunting” flying capabilities. (Photo: NBC Miami)
