An open record of things people cannot explain

People who described aircrew or pilots

131 accounts in the record mention this, spread across 1950s to 2010s. It is one of the rarer things people report, which makes it worth more when two accounts share it.


0.3%
of every account in the record mentions aircrew or pilots. When two strangers both do, the engine weighs that heavily.
