I actually just have no clue what's going on here... A video has been uploaded that allegedly shows a commercial aircraft avoiding a UFO. The claim is that this video was filmed on Singapore Airlines' January 17 flight from Singapore to Zurich (SQ346), which was operated by an Airbus A350-900. The video captures the plane…

It is so fake that it makes my girlfriend look real.
It was very clearly climbing(not descending), SQ has only very recently acquired narrow body aircraft, which this clearly is. And did they mention how many stops it made between SIN and ZRH? The winglet SQ logo should be backwards as it makes no sense, also SQ always just paint their winglets a block of blue. and oh, no engine spools up this loudly this quickly, and sorry, it does not pull enough G's to make a camera that is relatively fixated to the fuselage lose focus on EVERYTHING.
Ehhh... totally fake. That is not an A350. That sounds is not SQ. It seems it is not a landing, but take-off. Fake.
i can assure you, Zurich experienced the heaviest snowfalls for more than a decade and was covered in snow on the 17th and still is. There are so many mistakes on the video, it's hardly worth to comment - you'd best delete it.
To paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson, the "U" in UFO stands for "Unidentified". That's where your conversation should stop. If you don't know what it is, you don't then say it must be anything. You don't then say, "oh look, a UFO. It must be aliens visiting from outer space!". Nothing to see here. Back to work.
It's a signal. Connect the dots. Do your own research. JFK Jr. 1999. Coincidence? I think not. The truth is out there.

Ben, do your blog a favor, remove the video. I know that times are tough to find anything worthy arline-related, but this is belong ridiculous.
Do you guys actually had to watch this video to realized it's fake? Seriously??
Seems like you just made sense of it to me. Not sure there are really any questions left to answer...?
Agreed with others: this video is fake, and you should delete the article.
I waited until I watched to read the comments, and all the same clues others are pointing out are the same cues I took... namely the sounds.
"It’s claimed that we know this wasn’t a drone or bird because it was invisible on the radar"... this is probably the greatest red flag to me. WHO is claiming that this was invisible on the radar??? If it's the guy who published the video, then shame on you for even considering it. How does some random passenger know what can/cannot be seen on Radar?
As an ATCS, I can tell you that drones do not typically show up on Radar to begin with. Would be surprised if onboard radar was any better.
Wtf. There's no question about it being fake. Clickbait title and unnecessarily giving views and credence to this poor attempt at a fake
1. Why is plane banking TOWARDS the UFO?
2. SQ 346 did not go around on Jan 17: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SIA346/history/20210116/1730Z/WSSS/LSZH
I think lack of flying is affecting judgement...that is why this is a story on the blog
A). 5 seconds into the video you realize that it is NOT landing, its taking off.
B). The voice is clearly superimposed on the view. sounds like an instructor or may be even military guy explaining how to take 'brace' position.
C). The pilot must be nuts to do a tight banking turn right into the path of that white object.
D). Pilot must be a superman to be able to spot that small white object against whitish background (clouds) from miles away to be able to make that announcement ~20 seconds before taking any action.
watched again on you tube - full screen and 0.25 playback speed.... look at 1:19 when the object is going under the leading edge of the wing.
The wing now develops a transparent leading edge showing separation between the boundaries instead of blending perfectly if this was a real object and not superimposed video.
“wasn’t a drone or bird because it was invisible on the radar” - sorry to say but our radars don’t warn us about impending birds or drone strikes
The winglet or sharklet on the 320 family is very different from what is on the 737 and again from what’s on an A350
I realize that you question the video. But why? Why would you even bother to post this? Because It's completely and obviously fake. The brace announcement is hilarious. If you want I can send you a fake video of snakes on a plane that you can post and question for clicks? Seriously. This is not helping your credibility, lol.
I thought it was a pretty cool post. As someone who likes to read about aviation related news but am not an AV geek myself, all of the things you (and the commenters) mentioned sounds logical but I would never spot them on my own. If I saw this on the news I'd be fooled so I appreciate the detailed teardown of the hoax.
Better than reporting on another fight on Allegiant/Spirit.
The flight on the 17th doesn’t have any sudden maneuvers according to Flightradar24’s data.
As if there hadn't been abundant evidence before, the landscape shown in this video suggests an approach to runway 10 in ZRH.
Runway 10 in ZRH is not used for commercial airliner approaches. Not ever.
Posting this feels suspiciously like clickbait... you got me alright.
Ben, Of course UFO's and ET's don't exist (?) We have been told, taught in our schools, in our religions, and from our Govt's that they don't. And if anyone says yes, they are declared as exotic, mentally impaired or dilusional.
Maybe now we will begin to have clarity. Recently from retired Israel defense chief Haim Eshed stepped forward. And broadly from Nick Pope who have first hand experience while working for their governments. Ie; the cats out of the bag.
Everybody Relax.
Can we wonder who was on board that plane? Maybe some nuclear war fighting hydrogen bombers? Might that be what ET was suggesting we look into?
