American Airlines has claimed that a flight between Cincinnati and Phoenix had a near miss with a missile-like unidentified flying object (UFO). The crew of American Airlines Flight 2292 say the UFO buzzed past them as they passed over New Mexico. In a radio message from the plane’s cockpit, since confirmed by the airline, the pilot said: “I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing - moving really fast right over the top of us.”
