What do Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Sammy Hagar and Pat McAfee have in common? They have all had what they claim to be strange encounters with UFOs (some more strange than others).
On his show on Tuesday, Pat McAfee shared a wild story about seeing a UFO while he was on a plane flying from Chicago.
“There was just a round orange light just sitting in the sky, randomly, out of nowhere,” McAfee recalled.
“It didn’t appear as if there… there was no pole or anything holding it up… just sitting there in the sky.”
He continued, “As we’re flying home, we get close to Indiana, there’s some houses, but not really. It’s just pitch black and we just see this orange glowing, sorry, I see it.
“So I look to my left and I’m like ‘what the f— is that?’ and I’m just staring at it. It’s not moving … it just sat there for 15 minutes. We flew by, that thing’s probably still sitting there.”
“Yeah, it didn’t move at all,” said one of McAfee’s crew.
“I can’t wait for people to see this,” McAfee added. “I honestly believe it was a goddamn UFO. I mean, it was the weirdest thing I’ve seen in some time.”
The object in question did look a lot like the moon, but according to McAfee, “As a 34-year-old adult who has seen the moon before, not the first time, that was not the moon, but if anybody has an answer on what that could have been between Chicago and here I’d love to hear it.”
And hear it he did.
Fans had numerous stories and responses to Pat McAfee’s UFO sighting
“I saw a light in the sky just like that a few weeks ago,” one viewer replied. “I am in Calgary. Canada. It was in the evening a half hour before sunset. I stared at it trying to rule out all the possible things it could be. It just stayed in one position. It was not the sun. I looked at it for a couple minutes and then looked at my watch to see what time it was, when I looked back at it, it was gone. I stared at where it was for about a minute and thought where are you. Then it appeared again but a little to the left of where I had seen it. I thought: you are back, and five seconds later it disappeared. Holy crap it read my mind. I wish I had a photo or video for proof. I’m not blowing smoke. And it looked exactly like the one you filmed.”
“I left the third shift once at 7:00 a.m.,” wrote another. “It was a factory in the middle of the woods. It was just getting light and I looked back over my shoulder at the factory I saw this bright ball of light like a dull yellow sun hanging above the factory. It was big and weird and dozens of people were staring. It dimmed out slowly after a few moments and we all dragged ourselves home to sleep.”
“I’m from Houston and about 2 years ago I was walking down the street with my cousin and we saw the exact glowing thing in the sky looked like it shot towards earth then shot backwards, left a slight streak and then disappeared in thin air,” someone else commented. “It happened so fast, couldn’t explain it, it was a lot smaller which would make sense y’all were 10,000ft in air, we were walking .”
None of those people (and the dozens more with similar experiences) explain what it was that McAfee saw. The same thing occurred over on Twitter.
I’ve seen a similar round orange glowing UFO approx 1/2 size of a FB field hovering right over our fishing boat in 1998. It was within 100 yards of us completely silent. No engine propulsion noise it eventually started to move silently following us above water - wasn’t sun/moon

I’ve seen ones like that before, I’m pretty sure that with any other explanation exhausted as not it, you guys 100% saw a UFO dude.

One person, however, may have provided an explanation. Maybe.
In certain areas, the atmosphere can be filled with air pollution, dust, and even smoke from wildfires. These particles scatter light in the atmosphere leading to an orange or red Moon high in the sky. Sorry Pat. Was hoping you saw the real deal. Keep lookin tho! pic.twitter.com/QWyWiLo1xg

Here’s another one…
It’s an Indiana Wesleyan University weather balloon northwest of Indianapolis about 15 minutes

As much as we want to believe, that guy there might actually be on to something.
