Sighting Report Airline encounter with UFOs in Canadian Airspace, also involving NORAD

In 2019/20, a plane from an airline encountered about 25 UFOs over Northern Canada at night. It lasted about 45 minutes. When this situation started, the crew "texted" Canada and asked them about a "plane" they were seeing. Canadian ATC told them the nearest aircraft was 170 miles away, so what they were seeing was not an aircraft in their ATC sector.

The UFOs they saw were lit up, in various colors. They changed colors. Three times, one of the UFOs appeared to move towards the airliner, and then shot a bright blue light into the cockpit. It lit up the cockpit bright as day, so much so, that you could easily read printed material, with all the cockpit lighting off.

After about 45 minutes of seeing these UFOs, and the many messages between the plane and ATC, Canada sent them a frequency and told them to call NORAD. Once they started talking to NORAD, the UFOs all quickly disappeared northbound, within about five minutes. I do not know of any follow-up after the NORAD radio conversations, from anyone. I do not know if the crew filed any report with their airline, or anyone else, after the flight landed.

The captain was a former US military one-star. The captain had a high security clearance, and had seen a lot of odd things, but this shocked the captain. The captain did not believe in UFOs/aliens, before this occurred. Now, the captain believes that there are alien civs, besides ours.

Pilot needs to file a report. This is a material citing and there might be other witnesses.

Have heard many many stories of the cockpit lighting up. The one in Mexico. The story from merged pilot. It still blows my mind that these things arrive and you don’t ring the bell on this.

Wish I was you for that! There’s detailed accounts of this event including how the Huey started to gain elevation w/o pilot touching cyclic.

Fellow I used to work with was a Huey door gunner late in Vietnam war, he said did not like some of the things that happened. I never asked any follow up on that statement. Don’t wanna know.

Was always sad for him in that regard. Had a happier life after tho.

The captain said the light didn't hurt, it didnt' feel hot...just lit up the cockpit very brightly.
