This is the incredible moment two airline pilots spot several white UFO orbs on flight that did not show up on the radar.
The video, which was posted on YouTube by Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan, shows two pilots flying a Boeing 747 from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria.
The pilots described the objects they saw as being ‘extremely bright’ and ‘moving freely’ in the sky.
According to Captain Ruud, the UFO orbs showed up around 30 minutes into the flight after a ‘normal take off and cruising’.
The video, which is titled ‘UFO Intercept Captain Ruud Flight with Boeing 747’ ends with the pilot convinced he has seen a UFO.
He says: ‘This is my experience of seeing something strange or UFO.

‘What we see is still a mystery.
‘Before that, we thought it was a light plane but it wasn’t on our radar.
‘We thought maybe it was a star but the stars didn’t move.
‘The UFO light shone for a long time and moved.’
The pilots can be heard in the clip discussing different theories as to what they saw in the sky.
They said they initially thought they were ‘aircraft’ but these would show up on the radar.
The pair then considered drones but dismissed this theory as well as drones need to use the radar and don’t have such bright lights.
Their final consideration was satellites but Captain Rudd was not convinced by this idea either due to the way they moved ‘in various ways’.
However social media users reacting to the video were more sceptical of what the pilots saw.
One person posted in response to a version of the clip on Reddit: : ‘As an airline pilot we see these lights just about every late night/early morning flight we do.’

They added: ‘They always appear over the same part of the sky depending on the time and direction we are flying.’
Captain Ruud has 32 years of flying experience according to his Instagram account that has more than 130,000 followers.
He works for Max Air which is a Nigerian airline operating domestic and international flights.
The sighting comes after a Pentagon chief admitted last year that UFOs have been spotted ‘all over the world’.
Physicist Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said: ‘We see these [‘metallic orbs’] all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers.’
Dr Kirkpatrick presented AARO’s latest findings to NASA’s independent team of scientists and other experts who have been tasked with studying the UFO phenomenon in May last year.
She added that roughly two to five percent of around 800 cases their organisation constituted real and baffling anomalies.
