Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao shared a bizarre encounter in which two shiny spheres, each three feet in diameter, flew past his private plane at an altitude of 9,000 feet over Houston, Texas. The incident occurred in 2023 and was corroborated by the Pentagon’s declassified footage of a UFO soaring over a military base in the Middle East.
Chiao claims he first spotted the spheres on an instrument flight plan when they appeared out of nowhere, moving swiftly towards his plane without making any noise or creating air disturbances. He suspects that the objects could be “metallic orbs” associated with unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which are the most prevalent type in recent sightings.
The sighting has sparked debate and raised questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life and potential government cover-ups. Chiao acknowledges his skepticism but admits that it’s hard to rule out the possibility entirely, given the vastness of the universe.
