Just saw this one on Reddit.

Video description on X: "I was flying back from Wisconsin on a friend's plane tonight and got called up to the cockpit. The pilots were very confused at what they were seeing. Something was above them and not showing on radar. I'm sure there is a logical explanation here. Watch this video and tell me what I am missing"

I don't have time to investigate right now, but it could be a fun one with all that cockpit imagery.

Edit; Debunked by @Mick West on X...

Did Mick work out the flight? The location seems to be North of Texa there's more information in the audio than you can make out from the burry video. The full phone video is likely much clearer.

I couldn't really get anything from the cockpit, but as he said he was flying "back from Wisconsin" I asked ChatGPT where he was based and it told me Phoenix, Arizona, and so i just put it roughly half way there.

The video isn't really good enough to sync up, even with a precise time/location. It was "a friend's plane", so presumably a private jet, which often fly over 40,000 feet for speed.

I did not. They say "Flying over New Mexico", "at 40,000 feet" with aircraft below them at 8,000 and 6,000 feet

They also misinterpret the motion as "circling" which is very common.

Oh, he says "nearly in Arizona, here's Gallup (New Mexico)"

So given that, it's about 03:53 UTC as they pass Gallup. Here's the Sitch with the actual plane track.
