Panjimanan noticed a large glowing ball in the distance, and said at the 21:01 minute of the recording: &quot;We have company on our flight,&quot; pointing to the strange object.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The strange object so astonished Pangemanan that he exclaimed &quot;Wow&quot; 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.</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>plane puzzle</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 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.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 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&#39;s radar, they ruled out that possibility, indicating that it was not an aircraft or even a drone.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 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.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In the end, Panjimanan concluded that these luminous balls were likely unidentified flying objects.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%88%...
