A passenger on a flight above LaGuardia Airport in New York City has captured video footage of a mysterious "flying cylinder" that she believes could be a UFO, prompting her to email the FAA about the potential safety hazard. The passenger, Michelle Reyes, says other people on the flight also saw the out-of-this-world object, which an expert from the Mutual UFO Network reviewed and determined was traveling at around 2,500 feet, relatively close to the plane. They ruled out the possibility of it being a drone, helicopter, or military aircraft.
The expert, Thomas Wertman, says the object's unusual round shape and location near a major commercial flight path makes it an "intriguing" and warrants further research. The FAA has confirmed it is "checking" on what the mystery object could be, as the passenger's video doesn't appear to be doctored, according to the UFO expert.
