A normal flight journey turned into a baffling experience for a passenger after she captured a video of a flying disk that appeared like a UFO above New York through the airplane window. The incident led the federal aviation officials on a fact-finding mission Thursday (April 25). The passenger, identified as Michelle Reyes, was aboard a commercial airline flight above LaGuardia Airport on March 25, when the incident happened. The woman suddenly saw a mysterious “flying cylinder” in the sky out of her plane window and captured video footage.

Maybe it was a safety hazard, but unfortunately, I haven’t heard back from them, they didn’t acknowledge my email.” Also Read: Aliens may be travelling from one planet to another via meteorites: Study She added that another person, who was along with her on the flight, also noticed the mysterious object and was stunned. “It’s a little nerve-wracking that someone else saw what I saw,” she added. Mysterious object can be a 'potential hazard': State director State director of the Mutual UFO Network in Ohio Thomas Wertman also reviewed the footage and said that the object was seen travelling at roughly 2,500 feet and was “relatively close” to the aeroplane when it was preparing for landing. The altitude, shape and location of the object - which was close to the path of a major commercial flight — possibly rule out that it could be a military-operated aircraft, drone and a news helicopter, said Wertman. “Drones aren’t supposed to fly at that altitude at least legally. If it were something related to [military] defence or law enforcement, you normally wouldn’t see it so close to a major flight lane," he said.

He found the object's unusual round shape “intriguing” since it debunked the theory that it may be a second plane, which may have been captured at an odd angle. “It does not appear to be a commercial aircraft because I don’t see features like wings or a tail,” he stated. He said that the aeroplane, from which it was shot, was roughly 15 minutes away from LaGuardia Airport when the video was captured. The footage certainly “doesn’t appear to be doctored,” he added. “It’s a very intriguing image. It needs more research," Wertman said. (With inputs from agencies)

Big Apple faces crippling labour crunch and a migrant crisis

One of the bustling cities of the world, the United States's Big Apple - New York - also happens to be the one battling the menace of rising air pollution.&nbsp;

Experts have found that spikes in New York's air pollution levels in the year 2018 could be attributed to Canadian wildfires and controlled agricultural burning in Canada and the southeastern US.&nbsp;

Experts believe that the rising incident of wildfires, fueled by climate change, is set to add to more pollution in years to come.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the British weather office came out with a report earlier this month stating that the co2 levels in the atmosphere will witness the biggest ever annual rise this year as a result of the devastating Australian bushfires.&nbsp;

The meteorological office of the United Kingdom predicted that the impact of weather patterns on global ecosystems is also likely to go up by 10 per cent this year with the devastating Australian bushfires to account for about one-fifth of this rise.&nbsp;

An unusually long bushfire season has scorched an area one-third the size of Germany in Australia. While over 25 people have lost lives in the deadly blazes since September, an estimated 1 billion animals have been killed.&nbsp;
