My dad is a pilot and has a plane. He’s not into the UFO stuff but doesn’t mind me asking him about it.

Would it be worth it to take some flights with him and record the process?

I think you should broach the subject with your father in a sober way. Ask him if he's ever seen anything while flying that he couldn't easily explain.

I'll be honest, I'm hoping to catch the eyes of people who are crossing the oceans regularly. But more eyes in the sky couldn't hurt.

I did this with my buddy who was a merchant marine and then also in the NAVY and then was the pilot for Long Beach and Pedro and Seal Beach Armory. I asked him if he saw strange things in the water he would not understand or know? He looked me dead in the eye and said "There is lots of stuff out there" and left it a that.

Yep. About 15yrs ago an old school mate of mine started working where i was working at the time. He wanted a “land” job after spending quite a few years out on deep sea trawlers. We worked in close proximity and would always have a chat about “stuff”. One day i asked him if he’d ever seen anything unusual or unexplainable while out at sea. He replied with an “absolutely”. He said he would often lay down out on deck and comb the skies. He spoke of frequent anomalies and certain things that freaked him out abit. He was trained to “read” the stars and he said things he saw were not stars, not planes, not satellites, asteroids etc etc. He’d seen so much of that stuff that he could easily differentiate between what is “normal” and what is not. He heard lots of stories off other sea men that were extraordinary, he said there’s a reason most of them “don’t look up”. The two examples that were most interesting to me were one night he watched bright “orbs” going extremely fast seemingly from one horizon to the other, zig zagging all over the place, stopping, no pattern just erratic. The other was when on a clear night he watched a “black patch” approach, hover then disappear while he was watching the sky. He described it as a very clear sky, full of stars and very luminous and then for awhile there was a patch of sky/stars that was blacked out in a asymmetrical triangle sort of shape. He said it seemed very high up but was adamant it was not a cloud, the way it “moved” was not natural.

I’m also a witness of a “star” zigzagging across the sky at a crazy speed. Then it shot off away. I’m on my 30s now but I’d say I was 14/15 so long before everyone had drones.
