UFO Seen From Plane

Best guess would be a skyscraper just poking through the cloud tops, as there seems to be a structure beneath the light. I believe the light is stationary; being in an aircraft flying low over cloud tops would give a parallax effect, combined with a low field of view through the camera, the object might appear to move.

I'm a pilot. ATC would have no problem letting two planes fly that close. The minimum is 1000ft horizontal and vertical separation. RVSM. The problem is it's not a plane.

Second, the YouTube description says they are at 30,000ft. No they are not. First off, the flaps of the aircraft are out showing they are clearly in descent for landing, and also you hardly find those types of clouds at 30,000.

With that said, yeah a blue light attached to some sort of man made structure poking out of clouds is strange, but it COULD be a snow plough on top of a mountain ridge...

Also ALL aircraft warning lights used on buildings and structures ALL AROUND THE WORLD to warn aircraft of such terrain are red, and most blink. Never blue. Blue is not used in aviation for any purpose.

Which maybe is why there is not more info on exactly where this plane was when the video was taken, because the hoaxer would know that it would easily be shown a hoax if this was taken near tall buildings or high mountains with blue lights on top.

But still, that light is not blinking...

Naw, as you can see the top-right edge of the "object" is illuminated as if the sun is hitting it. That says to me that it's actually above the tops of the clouds, and getting hit by sunlight.

The more I look at this video and the still...meh I don't even want to admit it yet...

Flagged. This is cool.

Right you are. If this is a hoax, it's a pretty freakin' amazing one, eh? Next step, contact the YouTuber?

Stars for anyone contacting the youtuber to find out exactly WHERE that plane was (or as close as possible) so we can figure out likely causes. Report back please.

That is a good piece of footage, i cannot explain what it could be.

If anyone's flown into Geneva, Switzerland many mountain peaks sneak out of the clouds like this. Pretty awesome sight. But that's my guess, as there's sometimes a restaraunt or some bs on top of the mountains there.

very interesting...

unfortunately the quote in the OP/youtube desc. means alot of people wont take it seriously - cos dey iz relly relly dum

Would love to go to Geneva. This plane is an Airbus A318/19/20 or 21 model, and the family is American or North American sounding. Smaller busses don't usually cross the ocean especially not to Geneva, so I'm just racial profiling and saying they are somewhere on our side. Narrows it down a bit

We're gonna need Phage on this one.

Phage... are you there? What is that?

Don't you have a mind of your own, your own brain or you lack it? Lol @ all those who call for Phage' someone else to explain things to them instead of them thinking on their own.

--------

If this is not CGI it looks like some tower on top of a mountain, I doubt it is even anything secret, for being so close to the mountain...

hmmm...Phage is still awaiting instructions from his friend David Morrison on this one..

no but seriously..what do you expect Phage to say on this one ?

about the footage :

the position of the blue light is somehow looking strange to me...also is there a second small red light on the corner of the shape??

my impression is that we are looking at a high technology craft...if only..we can see the whole thing

wow what a feedback

so now we know that they lied about the altitude ...

hmmm..im turning suspicious now..once there is 1 lie..more will pop out soon

I do not think it's a hoax, the "type" of uploader doesn't seem like someone I'd suspect hoaxing or spending hours making a rather convincing CGI video.

Furthermore he says he also took still images and mentions someone else shot the "object" as well. I have no reason to doubt he would produce the photos as well if someone would ask him.

So..that's just my gut feeling.

However, I still think it's not a "craft" of any sorts. Thanks to the pilot mentioning the flaps, I was looking at this but due to my own lack of expertise couldn't tell whether the flaps were out or in. If they are extended they are definitely NOT at 30.000ft but much lower. The entire object does not look "UFO like" to me but very man-made, for some reason.

I thought that too but it looks like a reflection from our Sun off the tip of it. If it's CGI it's really well done IMO.

It really seems to be attached to some structure.
It could be a weather beacon, like the John Hancock Tower

Steady blue, clear view
Flashing blue, clouds due
Steady red, rain ahead
Flashing red, snow instead.

Yeah, it's almost like the bow of a ship in the movie The Fog or something. Maybe a mountain that's been shaped? But with a blue light? The background info seems credible. The Airbus was flying from Florida.

reply to post by blindIo


Hmm. Any other searches turn up a weather beacon in the USA or Canada attached to a structure like that?

reply to post by kidcraig


Geneva is a pretty cool and beautiful place, but literally the most expensive in the world. For sure worth a visit. And yes, good call with the findings. Carry on.

reply to post by kidcraig


Well, the Old John Hanock Building is in the USA: Boston.

In Canada:

But no blue light there.

Actually, that might help to find some candidates :
