  • Air traffic controllers responded on the recorded frequency with “Creepy” and “Good luck with the aliens,” and another pilot on frequency said, “I want to believe him.”
  • The exchange was posted by the VASAviation YouTube channel in late October and resurfaced in December, driving a surge of views and news coverage.
  • According to the FAA, pilot UAP reports made to air traffic control are documented, and incidents supported by data such as radar are shared with the UAP Task Force.
