'Very strong' and 'sensational': what the pilot said when he saw lights in the sky over Paraná

Pilot sees light in the sky of Paraná After seeing lights in the sky, the pilot of a private flight used communication with the Approach Control agency in Londrina, in the North of Paraná, to describe them. He used expressions such as "very strong" and "sensational" to try to explain what he was seeing on Monday night (13). He also stated that he was feeling "chills" when observing the luminous apparitions in the sky over the Londrina region, reporting to the controller that the same sensation was repeated in his cabin companion. To try to identify it, he details that the glow is to the west and questions whether no other pilot spoke about the case. Listen to the conversation above. "There's a light up ahead, which I don't know if it's a planet or what, very far away, it's always there, right? But it gives us chills when we see the lights, and they're of very strong intensity and very fast movement. It's unbelievable", said the pilot. ? Follow g1 Londrina and the region on WhatsApp ?According to Fábio Faria, postgraduate in Airport Management and Airline Management, Londrina Approach Control manages air traffic in a certain area, with limits defined in aeronautical publications. Above the vertical limit of this area, aircraft control is transferred to the Curitiba Area Control Center. The audio obtained by g1 was captured by the frequencies of the towers at Londrina and Maringá airports, recorded by LiveATC.net, a respected source for flight recordings. The conversation ended without identifying the origin of the lights. There are no videos of the moment of the sighting narrated by the pilot. The report went viral on social media with internet users mentioning the possible sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Reports of "strange" lights by pilots, however, are part of a standard aviation safety procedure, according to an expert interviewed by g1. ?? Read the transcript of the conversation between pilot and tower below: ????? PILOT: One question. Someone, some night, reported to you an appearance of some lights, like this, to the west of us here, like heading 290, 300? A curiosity. ? CONTROL: No. Negative. We recently received a report from Torre Londrina about some things in this western sector of the terminal. ????? PILOT: And were you able to identify anything it could be? ? CONTROL: No, not yet. Traffic, in fact, there is nothing planned, none of which we know of. ????? PILOT: Look, I'll leave my report here. Honestly, it's amazing. And so, it gives us goosebumps when we see the two lights close to that light. There's a light up ahead, which I don't know if it's a planet or what, very far away, it's always there, right? But it gives us chills when we see the lights, and they are very intense and move very quickly. It's unbelievable. ? CONTROL: Aware, Oscar Tano Echo. Are you able to provide the approximate distance to the aircraft? ????? PILOT: No. Negative. Yeah, I don't know, it's really weird. I'm not going to say anything much further, no, because it will seem like a joke on our part, but it's very distant, it's loud and the lights move very quickly when they appear. It seems like they fly in circles, like that. We spotted two, okay? ? CONTROL: Aware, Oscar Tango Echo. Thank you for the information. Any additional information we have, I'll pass it on to you, ok? ????? PILOT: Okay, okay, here's the record, just because it really seems like something very supernatural due to the chills it gives us, both with me and the cabin mate here. But it's fine, thank you. And sorry for the inconvenience, there, on this subject. ? CONTROL: That's it. Imagine, commander. Illustrative photo of an airplane cabin.

In other words, making the report does not mean that it is a UFO. "Communication to Air Defense must be understood as a procedure related to the security and control of airspace, and not as a confirmation of any extraterrestrial origin", Faria highlighted. Faria reported having received some records of lights in the sky over Londrina at the same time that the pilot informed the operator. He considers that the characteristics are compatible with the passage of satellites from the Starlink constellation. It is possible that the glare was generated by solar reflection on the equipment's body and panels. Miguel Fernando Moreno, coordinator of the Londrina Astronomy Studies and Dissemination Group (Gedal), has the same opinion. In an interview with RPC, a TV Globo affiliate in Paraná, he highlighted that there are thousands of satellites in Earth's orbit. Due to the large number, many people have seen the lights generated by them. "Satellite observations are systematically occurring in places that would not normally be visible in the sky, at unusual times," he said. g1 contacted NAV Brasil Serviços de Navigação Aérea to find out if the report was registered and if there was a conclusion on the situation, but there was no response until the last update of this report.
