Summary
Recently, a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 en route from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City after colliding with an unidentified object over Utah. The impact shattered the cockpit windshield, injuring one of the pilots and prompting the crew to announce that the aircraft had "collided with an object." Early investigations seem to rule out space debris or meteors, and while investigators continue working to resolve the situation, a potential break in this unusual case may have now revealed what actually happened.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the unnerving incident, along with the issue of potential dangers that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) may represent to pilots, with a look at historic cases and similar incidents where possible collisions with unknown objects may have imperiled aircraft.
Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
