US military pilot had 2014 encounter with suitcase-sized UFO
The US military has released more details about its pilots' encounters with UFOs. Newly released “hazard reports” offer more information about a 2014 encounter between a US pilot and an “unknown aircraft” which was “approximately the size of a suitcase, and silver in colour”. During the encounter, a navy jet “passed within 1,000 feet” of the object but the pilot could not work out the identity of the aircraft. Some people have suggested the aircraft could have been something “extra-terrestrial”.
