A mystery object has been filmed flying 35,000ft over Pakistan by shocked airline pilots who claim it was not a balloon or aircraft.
In the video, which contains some bad language, the Pakistan International Airlines pilots can be heard trying to figure out what the object is pulsing above their plane.
‘It’s not a balloon, it’s not an aircraft’, one pilot says in English.
The object, which looks like a circular light, flares and launches what look like small explosions of gas in the sky.
Pilots on a Pakistan Airlines flight have captured an unidentified object flying in the sky during a routine flight between Lahore and Karachi
The object, which the men said was not a balloon or aircraft, can be seen pulsing in the sky over Pakistan
Local media reported the pilot saying: ‘The UFO was extremely bright despite the presence of sunlight.’
The pilot did not think the object was a planet, and thought it could be a ‘space station’ or an ‘artificial planet’.
One local media report quoted the pilot recalling a metal ring wrapped around the object and a brilliant light coming from its centre.
The unidentified flying object was seen over Rahim Yar Khan, a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
The pilots were operating a routine flight from Lahore to Karachi.
The object periodically pulses as it hovers, 1,000ft above the cruising aircraft, as pilots watch it on a flight between Lahore and Karachi
Pakistani journalist Zain Khan, who tweeted the footage, wrote on Twitter: ‘It is too early to say for sure what he had actually witnessed.
‘It cannot necessarily be a flying saucer.’
Khan said the pilot immediately reported the incident when he saw it last Saturday, adding that authorities were now investigating as to what the object is.
A spokesman for PIA confirmed the captain of the flight saw an ‘extraordinary object’ flying 1,000ft over his aircraft, which was cruising at 35,000ft, and made a video which is being circulated on social media.
‘At this time we don’t know what the object was’, the spokesman said.
