A pilot from Colombia captured the ‘best UFO footage ever’ at 12,500ft from his plane, and when he uploaded it online, its authenticity was confirmed by a Mexican ufologist.
Pilot, Jorge A. Arteaga, was flying over Antioquia in Colombia when he spotted a balloon-shaped unidentified flying object, or UFO, flying towards his plane.
The plane was flying at too high and cold an altitude for a balloon to be floating around intact, and the airplane’s movements would have caused it to blow away, so it must have been a UFO.
Check out the authentic footage of the UFO above.
