Ex-NASA Astronaut’s Chilling UFO Encounter Raises Alarm.

Amid a recent surge in UFO sightings across the United States, a former NASA astronaut, Leroy Chiao, shared a startling account of his own mysterious encounter with two metallic orbs while flying his private plane in Texas last summer. His experience adds to the growing wave of unexplained aerial phenomena that has taken over headlines and sparked intense public curiosity.

A Near Collision in the Texas Sky

In August, during a routine flight from Colorado to Houston, Chiao, a seasoned astronaut with three Space Shuttle missions under his belt, was flying at 9,000 feet when the bizarre encounter occurred. “Suddenly, out of nowhere, these two big, metallic, spherical orbs, one on top of the other, about three feet in diameter each, went zipping by the left side of my airplane, right underneath, about twenty feet away,” Chiao recalled in an interview with NewsNation. His words vividly paint a picture of a terrifying moment that could have ended in disaster.

The orbs, which appeared unexpectedly and at high speed, missed the aircraft by a mere 20 feet, offering Chiao no time to react. “It happened so quickly there wasn’t even a chance to get scared,” he said. “But it could’ve been a bad result if they had actually hit me.” The quick-moving orbs left Chiao “shaken but grateful” for the luck that prevented a crash.

Unidentified Objects: Military or Something Else?

The eerie part of the encounter came when Chiao realized that the orbs didn’t show up on his aircraft’s radar or on any displays for other nearby planes using FAA-required transponders. Even air traffic control did not alert him about the objects, leading Chiao to speculate on their origin. “It wasn’t on radar. I don’t know what it was. My first guess is that it’s some kind of military drone, but it’s hard to say, right?” His uncertainty about the nature of the objects deepens the mystery, especially when considering his spaceflight expertise.

This unsettling encounter isn’t an isolated incident. Chiao’s story comes amid increasing reports of UFO sightings, particularly in the New Jersey area. Local footage has captured a mysterious object hovering over the Hudson River, and the Pentagon recently released radar footage showing an unidentified orb in restricted military airspace.

Drone Sightings Spark Public Debate

Chiao also expressed disbelief over the drone activity in New Jersey, questioning how such large-scale sightings could be happening without the government’s awareness. The former NASA astronaut’s comments align with a growing concern among the public: Who is behind these UFOs, and are they connected to secret military programs?

Chiao’s sighting, as well as the increasing number of reported UFO encounters, adds to the ongoing mystery of unexplained aerial phenomena. The Pentagon, NASA, and other agencies have offered explanations, attributing these sightings to either natural or man-made objects. However, Chiao’s experience leaves a lingering question: What exactly are these mysterious flying objects, and why are they showing up in places like military airspace?

A Growing UFO Mystery in the Skies

As more UFO sightings surface, the public’s fascination with these unexplained objects intensifies. Chiao remains unsure about the true nature of what he encountered, adding weight to the argument that more investigations are needed. His words: “I think whoever was operating the drone wasn’t aware that I was there,” underscore the mysterious nature of these sightings, furthering the debate over the existence of extraterrestrial life or top-secret military tech.

With so many UFOs appearing in restricted airspaces, who is really in control of the skies? Is there more to these unidentified objects than meets the eye? As Chiao’s terrifying encounter proves, some mysteries may never be fully solved, leaving the public to wonder: Are we truly alone, or is there something more in the skies above?
