Arab Weather - Indonesian pilot Rod Van Pangemanan documented on video the appearance of unidentified flying objects during a flight from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria, which surprised the flight crew.

According to the American website "Coast to Coast", the incident occurred weeks ago when "Pangimanan" was flying a Boeing 747 aircraft belonging to the Nigerian airline "Max Air" on a flight from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Abuja, Nigeria.

Panjimanan shared the video on his YouTube channel, which documents his life as an airline pilot.

According to the video, the strange incident occurred about thirty minutes after the plane took off from Jeddah airport. Panjimanan noticed a large glowing ball in the distance, and said at the 21:01 minute of the recording: "We have company on our flight," pointing to the strange object.

The strange object so astonished Pangemanan that he exclaimed "Wow" at its brightness. Although the object disappeared for a short time, it reappeared, further confusing the pilots, especially when a second bright ball suddenly appeared.

When later explaining his experience to his followers in the video, Pangimanan asserted: “Guys, this is not a joke. What appeared in the sky and kept dancing?” explaining that the crew could not explain what they saw.

According to a Coast to Coast report, Panjimanan explained that they initially suspected that the bright object might be another aircraft, but since it did not appear on the aircraft's radar, they ruled out that possibility, indicating that it was not an aircraft or even a drone.

He also ruled out that these luminous balls were caused by stars or satellites, because their movement did not match the movement of celestial bodies.

In the end, Panjimanan concluded that these luminous balls were likely unidentified flying objects.
