While driving my son to school this morning I see these 2 objects in the sky. I checked flight logs for the airport nearby and no planes had taken off or landed around this time. The 2 objects appeared to just “float” and then when I told my son to look up at them, they were gone. I am posting the original photo and one that I zoomed in on after. Any idea if this is a true sighting or could be something else?

I have never seen anything like this in the sky before and was quite intrigued to say the least!

Thoughts? I would love to know what you all think!

    It’s nearly impossible to catch a good photo of those craft. They are likely the “Tic-tacs” as they’re called. Bright white or silver and no wings. Good catch!

  3. It was these two Delta Airlines planes, both flying from Buffalo to Atlanta
