Mysterious UFO Sighting Reported Over Rhode Island Skies

In a recent — air traffic control broadcast, a peculiar conversation unfolded over Rhode Island’s skies. A pilot flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II at 3,500 feet reported a bizarre sighting to air traffic control. “It appears to be standing still,” he said, describing an unidentified object hovering nearby.

The air traffic controller’s response was laced with levity: “Good luck with the aliens.” The pilot’s account was detailed and astonishing. He likened the object to a small, silver canister, hovering just a few feet away from his plane. Its stationary position, not attached to anything, defied explanation. The pilot quickly ruled out the possibility of a drone or weather balloon.

This incident has sparked widespread interest, with many questions left unanswered. The Federal Aviation Administration has not publicly commented on the reported UFO sighting. According to The Providence Journal, Rhode Island has recorded 1,022 UFO sightings since May 2018, ranking 44th in the United States for such incidents.

This is not an isolated incident. Earlier this year, a Customs and Border Patrol reconnaissance plane captured video of a short, cylindrical object moving rapidly without visible wings or propellers.
