UFO captured zipping through the sky during Blue Angels airshow over New York beach
What a close encounter!
A UFO was spotted zipping past the Navy’s iconic Blue Angels while they performed during an air show on Long Island over Memorial Day weekend, according to a report.
The small sphere flew past the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet over Jones Beach on Friday in bizarre footage obtained by TMZ.
The unidentified object only appears in the footage for about a millisecond.
However, a slow-motion video shows the UFO gliding directly in front of the jet before darting from the camera’s frame.
The craft appeared to be approximately 36,500 to 41,000 feet in the air, according to a report filed with the National UFO Reporting Center.
It remains unclear what the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) could be, given its incredible speed and the fact that the object left no trail as it darted forward.
UAP is the new term government agencies and officials use for what was once known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
UAP sightings around the Big Apple have recently seen a major uptick with multiple instances reported.
In March, an airplane passenger claimed she spotted a possible UFO soaring above New York City while on a commercial airline flight above LaGuardia Airport.
She claimed another person on the flight saw the out-of-this-world object and was stunned.
In July 2023, an “egg-shaped” UFO was captured flying over Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
In October 2023, a pill-shaped object spotted over McGuire Fields was one of the 12 UFOs reported in Brooklyn.
New York City registered 30 UFO sightings with the National UFO Reporting Center in 2023, up 7% from the 28 flying saucers seen in 2022 and 10% from the 27 in 2021.
The states with the most UFO sightings in 2023 were California (440), Florida (293), Texas (230), Washington (212), and New York (156), according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
As of 2024, the center has reported 57 UAP sightings in New York State, with around 11 of them debunked as aircraft, birds, rockets, or camera malfunctions thus far.
The Center, founded in 1974, “makes no claims as to the validity of the information in any of these reports,” but its website states that “obvious hoaxes have been omitted.”
Most reports “have been posted exactly as received in the author’s own words.”
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is the government agency tasked with investigating reports of UAP sightings.
Since its creation in July 2022, AARO has received more than 1,200 UAP reports but has released just four videos and three “case resolution reports.”
