USAF Pilot's UFO Encounter Sparks Debate

A US Air Force pilot, identified as 'Troy 21,' encountered a mysterious object during a classified mission over California at 20,000 feet, as captured in newly leaked audio. The object, described as a dark gray, football-sized cylindrical shape, passed within 10 feet of his aircraft wing. Despite initial speculation about it being a drone, its altitude and speed of over Mach 2 made this unlikely. The incident was reported to Los Angeles air traffic control and the National UFO Reporting Center and is part of a broader trend of increasing UFO sightings. This sighting has reignited debates about unidentified aerial phenomena, with experts dismissing conventional explanations due to the object's high speed and maneuverability. Similar incidents have been reported, including by former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao.
