The pilot saw the strange UFO last month during a flight from Pittsburgh to Maryland.

He contacted the nearest air traffic control tower, saying: «We observed something approximately 30 feet tall».

When asked to describe the object, he said it was «tall and pointy» and «in the shape of a triangle. It was bottom and flat on top».

He added: «I’m not sure what it is.» The pilot assured that the object posed no danger as it was far away but was «just noticeable enough» to report. The conversation ended when the controller took the pilot’s phone number.

Shockingly, the witness claimed to have snapped a photo of the triangular object, but it has vanished.

UFO fans have hurried online to guess what the plane might have bumped into.

Ideas vary from an alien ship to a weather balloon or even a gaggle of geese. The news comes after Joe Rogan’s chat with famous UFO whistleblower David Grusch was called off due to worries about his safety.

Grusch made headlines recently after he revealed that his life has been «a nightmare» since went public with his self-proclaimed UFO knowledge.

A fresh documentary made by TMZ aims to explore UFOs and Grusch’s claims – they tried to film him appearing on Rogan’s podcast – the biggest podcast in the world.

However, Grusch didn’t turn up because of a «security concern following his whistleblower testimony to Congress,» says filmmaker Jeremy Corbell.

UAPs – government-speak for UFOs – have been in the news lately after a series of videos purporting to show encounters were released, including those taken by the US military.
