Viral footage showing a metallic object allegedly racing past a cockpit window at 12,500 feet has exploded online after viewers branded itone of the clearest UFO encountersever captured on camera.
The dramatic incident, involving Colombian pilot Jorge Arteaga, has sparked fierce arguments among experts, with some convinced the object displayed intelligent movement while others suspect an elaborate hoax or even a drifting balloon.
Theencounterreportedly happened on 4 May 2023 while Arteaga was flying a Cessna T-303 Crusader towards Medellin, Colombia.
According to accounts surrounding the incident, the pilot first spotted a strange object moving towards the aircraft during the flight. Arteaga then alerted his co-pilot, who also allegedly saw the mysterious shape in the sky.
Instead of continuing his route, the pilot reportedly turned the aircraft around to investigate further and began filming the object through the cockpit window.
The footage begins with what appears to be a tiny metallic speck floating in the distance before the object suddenly rushes towards the aircraft at alarming speed.
Within seconds, the silvery object appears to shoot directly past the cockpit window.

The footage soon spread across social media and UFO forums, where many users hailed it as one of the strongest daytime UFO videos in recent years.
The viral clip caught the attention of YouTuber Andrew Crawford, who helped push the footage into mainstream UFO discussions. Crawford said he immediately believed the video deserved serious analysis after first watching it online.
