2022 brings an increase in UFO sightings reported over Pacific Ocean

NASA study

Numerous UFO sightings have been reported by pilots flying across the Pacific Ocean from the US West Coast in the last three months.

A former F-18 pilot along with dozens of experienced airline pilots describe bright lights moving in circles for hours. Some of the UFOs were captured in videos and     audio on air traffic control recordings

 

The host of Discovery+ channel’s UFO Witness, Ben Hansen interviewed the witnesses of the bizarre midair sightings. And compiled the footage and air traffic control recordings.

“In this case, we have a global phenomenon from as far west as Japan, to as far east as possibly Miami. Whatever it is, pilots are seeing it from halfway across the world.”

Puzzling spike in UFO sightings 

On August 18th pilot Mark Hulsey was flying a charter jet off the coast of Los Angeles. coast. 

He notified the controller that “We’ve got a few aircraft to our north here and he’s going around in circles, much higher altitude than us. Any idea what they are?”

Hulsey radioed in 23 minutes later saying that four aircraft had joined the three aircraft he reported earlier. And the seven UFOs were flying between 5,000 and 10,000 feet above his plane.

“They just keep going in circles. I was an F-18 pilot in the Marine Corps, and I’m telling you, I’ve done many intercepts, I’ve never seen anything like this,” Hulsey is recorded saying.

According to Hansen, the UFO activity was “seen by upwards of 15 different commercial flights. And at least six pilots are willing to go on record with their names and everything, if asked to do so, by any investigative agencies.” 

Later in August, Chris Van Voorhis, a 63-year-old veteran pilot observed three to five bright objects flying in a circular motion. He was flying over the Pacific when he watched, for hours, what he described as lights running on a circular “racetrack.” 

Van Voorhis claimed the lights may have been in low-orbit space. But it couldn’t have been Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites since they appeared to be moving in different directions.

Other airlines were said to have radioed in to ask if anyone else saw the flying objects that day.

UFO/UAP task forces stay busy

In 2021, the Department of Defense launched a taskforce to identify and study an estimated 140 sky events. It was primarily focused on military sightings of UAPs and UFOs. Washington insiders were puzzled by the growing number of UFO sightings. And believe that they could be a threat to national security.

The initial UFO task force released a report to Congress. And announced the formation of The Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group.

The report confirmed that there had been several unexplained aerial phenomena sightings by the military. And some of the sky events were still unexplained.

NASA is now involved in studying the spike in the number of UFO sightings. And last week another team of space scientists began a study.
