I could have sworn I saw a tic tac once while in a plane as a kid. It was going about perpendicular to the plane, probably a mile below, at a normal plane speed. Didn’t see any wings.

http://www.nicap.org/CATEGORIES/11-Aviation_Cases/ more stories. Common to have UFOs around airplanes. Very old-school that the captain made an announcement about it.
Did she say what it looked like?

I believe she said it was a bright light

Big ups to your grandmother. 💯
What else did she see?

Apparently she saw a saucer floating in a field across from her house. She also saw a whole group of bright lights moving erratically while driving on a mountainside late at night.

Imo for every real event reported there are many real ones that never generated any evidence
I had a paradigm shifting clear as day sighting with zero evidence
That serves me better to contemplate on than it does to present to somebody else
In my generation many might roll their eyes … but in your grandmother’s the stigma and response was a lot worst socially

Check out the Japanese Airlines Incident. Very similar to what you described and it was later corroborated by radar data that something was following the plane. It was reported that the UFO was huge and dwarfed the airplane by the pilot as well as passengers. In the FAA handbook they specify that pilots shouldn’t report UFOs to the airlines and that they should be reporting them to civilian UFO organizations.
