Jet pilot reports unidentified object in New Mexico skies

American Airlines has said one of its pilots flying a passenger jet sent a radio transmission reporting an unidentified object flying at high speeds in skies above northern New Mexico during a flight last Sunday from Cincinnati to Phoenix. A recording of the pilot’s transmission was made by Steve Douglass, a self-described “stealth chaser” from Amarillo. “Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us,” the pilot of American Airlines Flight 2292 told traffic controllers. “I hate to say this, but it looked like a long, cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast right over the top of us.” Douglass said on his blog, Deep Black Horizon, that a reply is not heard because air traffic “walked over it.” The FAA did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment. But American Airlines confirmed the authenticity of the recording, saying the transmission came from the flight.<br/>
