A "unidentified flying object"--reported by a major airline pilot--headed into GSP.
Exactly what that pilot saw, remains a mystery. But it was spotted thousands of feet in the air, causing miles of speculation.
Flight 2822 was en route from Houston to the Upstate last friday--23 passengers and 3 crew were on board--the plane--11000 feet in the air, when the pilot says things got weird.
Somewhere over Southeast Texas, the captain of the Continental Express plane says he saw a strange object flying about 150 feet below the plane.
It wasn't showing up on his radar either.
The pilot called it in to air traffic control, saying it was maybe a missle or a rocket--or--something else.
There was considerable concern and question, because whatever it was, it was flying very high in the air.
Its being called a UFO--after all it was an unidentified flying object--but just what kind is the big question.
We talked with flyers at GSP, who had differing opinions.
One said, "Yes...I believe that UFO's can exist...I haven't seen anything to rule them out."
Another told us, "It could be a lot of things."
He's probably right--but--deputies in Texas have spent days looking for a possible launch or landing site for a surface to air item, but haven't found anything.
Ironically, another Continental Airlines pilot reported a similar incident in May of last year, in roughly the same area.
