Description | In February 2015, during a flight above the Indiana-Illinois state line, near Lafayette and Champaign, the narrator witnessed a strange, flat, matte black object, about half the size of a football field, with two soldiers on it. The object was stationary, approximately 250-300 meters away. This sighting occurred after an unexpected incident on the plane where face masks dropped and passengers, including the narrator’s fiance, appeared unconscious. The flight attendant downplayed the situation. The narrator’s attempts to discuss this sighting with the pilot were discouraged by flight attendants and the presence of two agents on the plane. |
