Overview
- A pilot flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T at about 3,500 feet reported a small silver canister hovering off the right wingtip over Rhode Island.
- Air traffic controllers on the recording reacted with “Creepy!” and “Good luck with the aliens,” according to audio posted by VASAviation in October.
- The clip resurfaced in late December and has been widely shared on social media.
- No independent confirmation such as radar data has been reported, and early coverage noted no immediate FAA comment.
- The FAA told Fox News it documents pilot UAP reports and shares cases with the UAP Task Force when corroborating data exists.
