Green International Airport after spotting what he described as a small silver object near the wing of his plane, leaving air traffic controllers briefly stunned during a recorded exchange.<BR><br \/>\nWhile flying at about 3,500 feet, the pilot said: \u201cIt appears to be standing still.\u201d <BR><br \/>\nIn the recording, the pilot told controllers: \u201cLooks like a strange, small object that we just floated by. A small silver canister. Do you know what that could be?\u201d<BR><br \/>\nAir traffic control informed the pilot there were no other reports of objects in the area and asked whether it could have been a drone or a balloon. The pilot rejected both possibilities.<BR><br \/>\nHe said: \u201cI saw nothing attached to it. It was sort of hovering there. It was astonishing. I don\u2019t know what it was.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nThe object was reportedly observed near the right wing tip of a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II. The pilot said it appeared to fly alongside the aircraft for a short time before disappearing from view.<BR><br \/>\nGround controllers reacted with audible surprise during the exchange, with one saying: \u201cCreepy,\u201d while another joked, \u201cGood luck with the aliens.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nOther pilots monitoring the frequency joined the conversation, with one remarking: \u201cI want to believe him.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nThe Federal Aviation Administration said reports like this are formally documented when pilots raise concerns. If supporting information such as radar data corroborates the report, the FAA shares it with the UAP<BR><br \/>\nThe agency said in a statement to Fox News Digital: \u201cThe FAA documents UAP sightings whenever a pilot reports one to an air traffic control facility.\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025-12-23 17:01:46 A pilot of a private jet reported seeing a \u201cstrange, small object\u201d floating beside his aircraft thousands of feet above Rhode Island.
