“And suddenly, out of nowhere, these two big, metallic, spherical orbs, one on top of the other about three-feet in diameter each, went zipping by the left side of my airplane, right underneath, about twenty feet away,” Chiao recalled.
“I got a good look at ‘em, only for a second, it happened so quick there wasn’t even a chance to get scared, but it could’ve been a bad result if they had actually hit me,” Chiao mentioned of the “orbs” that he practically collided with.
Chiao defined that the 2 orbs didn’t seem on his airplane’s radar nor have been their presence communicated to him by air visitors management.
“I don’t know what it was. My first guess is that it’s some kind of military program, a drone of some kind, but, it’s hard to say, right?,” Chiao mentioned.
Chiao mentioned he felt it was easy “dumb luck” that the orbs didn’t collide together with his airplane.
