With the spread of the video showing the dialogue, some experts offered alternative interpretations of the pilot's statement, who adhered to the hypothesis that it could be a strange extraterrestrial object. This incident came just months after a veteran American fighter pilot broke his silence about a case where he nearly collided with an unknown flying object, which defied the laws of physics and stunned the US Air Force. Major Ryan Bodingheimer, a retired US Air Force pilot who flew F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, revealed in a YouTube video that one of the 'strangest' experiences of his career was a close encounter with a rectangular-shaped unknown object while flying with his squadron over southern Wyoming, USA. Bodingheimer, who served in the Air Force for 13 years, said the large craft suddenly appeared out of nowhere during a training mission and seemed to be on a collision course with his plane. Bodingheimer explained in the video he posted last June: 'Then I realized we weren't going to collide, and suddenly the object became clearer, and it was rectangular in shape.' The pilot said he saw a small, silver cylinder hovering near the wing of his plane at thousands of feet above the US state of Rhode Island. According to a video posted by the British newspaper Daily Mail, the footage included a live conversation with air traffic controllers during that tense moment, with the pilot telling the team on the ground: 'It appears to be stationary,' while the mysterious object floated beside it. Scientists specializing in space and astronomy have been able to detect more definitive and clear evidence of extraterrestrial life in the universe, which are believed to have been unable to reach us, and we humans have not been able to communicate with them. According to a report published on the specialized website Science Alert, a detailed survey conducted by a giant telescope revealed these traces on the comet 3I/ATLAS, which had previously puzzled scientists. The Breakthrough Listen project, one of the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescopes—the 100-meter Green Bank Telescope—was used to listen to the comet for several hours for about a day before its closest approach to Earth on December 19 of last year. The team searched for technological signatures across a wide range of radio frequencies, and although many signals were detected, none were confirmed to be coming from the comet, which means they might be traces of something else, and that something might be extraterrestrial beings, and scientists say they are the clearest evidence of the existence of beings other than us in this universe. In the same context, a few months earlier, an American pilot flying a private plane was stunned after spotting a mysterious object that he said could be an extraterrestrial object, or perhaps 'strange extraterrestrial beings,' which he saw while flying his plane at thousands of feet in the sky over the United States. The object hovered near the wingtip, moving alongside the plane for a brief moment before disappearing from sight. Air traffic control confirmed there were no other reports in the area and said the object might have been a drone or a balloon. But the pilot was not convinced by the air traffic control team's speculations, insisting it was a 'weird object' and that he saw no appendages on it, describing it as 'amazing' while maintaining an altitude of about 3,500 feet. 'It was like a perfect rectangle.' The veteran pilot described the unknown flying object as being between 30 and 50 feet in height and appearing to glow around the edges of its bright white body. Bodingheimer added that this craft did not emit any visible exhaust trail from its engine, did not send any radar signals, and was traveling at a speed of about 400 knots (460 miles per hour). Bodingheimer said: 'It was truly defying all the laws of aviation that I had learned.'
