UFO Pilot Under-Reporting Bias.

[Encia22]

A few years back, whilst waiting for a delayed train, I met a British commercial pilot who had recently retired. We chatted about a lot of different thing, quite a bit about aviation, both old and modern and he was very talkative.

After nearly two hours of commuting, I couldn’t resist asking him if he had ever had any UAP encounters. His countenance immediately changed, looked away, not being able to look me in the eye and hesitantly replied, “No, not in his thirty-odd years of flying.” I was hoping to just continue discussing the UAP phenomenon, but he switched to small talk about mundane things… like gardening. I don’t do gardening, so for the few remaining minutes of our trip he just went quiet.

I never forgot the look of terror on his face when I asked the question.
