Other over Inflight (Detroit/Baltimore; between), -

The report, as filed

The time is approximate. Flying from Detroit to Baltimore. Looking out my window and I suddenly see a silver shiny missile looking object coming right at us. In fact my first thought was that it was a missile and an “Oh shit!” came out of my mouth. When it got closer it suddenly turned up and to the right and flew away from us in a diagonal direction. It happened so fast my brain processed it as a near miss with another plane. But there were never any reports about it. And how could another plane turn away and miss us that fast? I’ve thought about it over the years as something that didn’t make a lot of sense. Until I recently saw a story about a “missile looking” UFO with a shiny silver tip sighting Then it clicked. That’s what I saw that day. I was never a believer in UFO’s. However I know what I saw. And I do believe now it may have been an actual UFO sighting.
