A UFO was apparently caught on video passing by the Navy’s Blue Angels during an air show on Long Island over Memorial Day weekend, NY Post reported.
The unusual incident happened as the small sphere zoomed past the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet over Jones Beach, as captured in peculiar footage obtained by TMZ.
The TMZ video clip is short, lasting just a blink. But we can see a glimpse of an unidentified object zooming through a crystal-clear sky during a Blue Angels show in Long Island last Friday. This thing moves crazy fast, keeping up with one of the Blue Angels’ super hornet jets, which is seriously impressive.
If you’re not familiar, the Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, known for their speed. Yet, this object is even faster! It’s only visible for a split second in the video. You can see the UFO gliding right in front of the jet in slow motion before disappearing from view.
Reportedly, the object was flying at an altitude of approximately 36,500 to 41,000 feet, as per a report submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) continues to baffle experts due to its astonishing speed and the absence of any visible trail as it streaked ahead.
UAP is the updated term adopted by government agencies and officials, replacing the previously used term “unidentified flying objects” (UFOs).
Recent times have witnessed a significant increase in UAP sightings around the Big Apple, with numerous reports surfacing.
In 2023, New York City recorded 30 UFO sightings with the National UFO Reporting Center. This marks a 7% increase from the 28 sightings reported in 2022. And a 10% rise from the 27 sightings in 2021.
According to data from the National UFO Reporting Center, California led the states in UFO sightings in 2023 with 440 sightings, followed by Florida (293), Texas (230), Washington (212), and New York (156).
As of 2024, the center has documented 57 UAP sightings in New York State. However, approximately 11 of these sightings have been debunked, attributed to aircraft, birds, rockets, or camera malfunctions.
