A mysterious object, spotted in the skies over New York City, has been termed another sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Michelle Reyes, flying on a commercial flight on March 25, reported seeing an unusual object from her airplane window near New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

In a Facebook post, Ms Reyes claimed to have seen a “flying cylinder” and shared a video. She said that she contacted the Federal Aviation Administration and wondered if it was a safety hazard. But she is yet to hear back from them, according to the NY Post.

Thomas Wertman, the state director of the Mutual UFO Network in Ohio, reviewed the footage and provided insights into the unidentified object. He noted that the dark object seemed to be travelling at an altitude of around 2,500 feet and was close to the plane as it approached the airport to land. Drones aren’t supposed to fly at that altitude, at least legally, he said.

“If it were something related to [military] defence or law enforcement, you normally wouldn’t see it so close to a major flight lane,” he added.
