Thunderbird Fighter Pilot Shares Wild UAP Encounters!

About this video

Max describes two UAP encounters from his fighter pilot career. The first occurred during a Thunderbirds training mission near Nellis AFB when Max reports a small, silver, triangle-shaped craft with wings passed him at high speed during final approach. The second happened at 30,000 feet when Max recounts seeing a large glowing rectangle with bright white edges pacing his aircraft at 400 knots, defying aerodynamic principles he learned in his training.

Key takeaways

• Max recounts seeing a small triangular craft with a reflective silver finish pass at high speed during a Thunderbirds formation landing, which he remembers with unusual clarity despite being unable to confirm it on radar or with other pilots
• Max describes encountering a 30-50 foot rectangular object at 30,000 feet that he says paced his aircraft at 400 knots with glowing white edges and no visible means of propulsion, which he reported to air traffic control
• Max offers his analysis of possible explanations including classified military prototypes, foreign technology, or extraterrestrial craft, noting that sharing UAP experiences has become less stigmatized for fighter pilots in recent years
