Alaska Airlines 2021 pilot UAP report

Record summary

A commercial aviation report from Alaska described a fast-moving or cylindrical object observed near an airliner, according to later media and aviation-reporting accounts. The case became part of broader interest in pilot reports collected by the FAA and other authorities after the 2021 UAP disclosure cycle. It is potentially useful for comparing civilian aviation testimony with military cases, but publicly accessible details about the flight, exact position, object size, and corroborating traffic data are limited. Identification as a balloon, aircraft, or other object remains unresolved in the public record.
