The man was on a passenger plane over New Mexico when he noticed six glowing disks in the distance. The objects were seen traveling above the clouds and looked as big as the passenger plane itself.

An eyewitness claims: 

On May 4, 2023, I was on board an American Airlines flight that took off from Charlotte, North Carolina, en route to Los Angeles, California. 

At about 17:25, I noticed 6-7 glowing disk-shaped objects outside my cabin window, flying west in the immediate vicinity of our plane. The objects were initially arranged in 3 rows, stacked 2 in a row. The upper and lower rows lagged slightly behind the middle row, as objects moving along our plane slowly formed a stagnant straight line. 

Our plane was flying over the state of New Mexico near Taos at a speed of about 490 miles per hour and at an altitude of a little more than 30,000 feet above sea level. These objects kept pace with our aircraft throughout the entire observation and never seemed to rise or fall. When I first noticed the objects, the light coming from them seemed to be a bright yellowish-orange color and resembled a flame. 

The light source coming from the objects seemed to pulse at a constant interval, but sometimes the light source dimmed and I could make out a reflective silver rim on two objects. The frame came to a point at both ends of each object, they looked disc-shaped or cylindrical in nature. Watching them with the naked eye, I started shooting them at about 17:26 on my phone, which records as 4K. 

The objects seemed to have a yellowish-white light when viewed through my phone's camera, rather than a yellowish-orange color when viewed with the naked eye.

Original news

Date of sighting: Mary 4, 2023
Location of sighting: New Mexico

Hey this just in all. A person was on a passenger jet and was over New Mexico when they noticed six glowing disks outside in the distance. The objects were seen traveling above, and through the clouds and look as large as the passenger jet itself. The interesting thing is that these objects are flying very close together, as if it's trying to mimic military formation in case they do get intercepted by military they will be safer this way, and also less change of being seen in not spread over a long distance. If this was a daily event, full disclosure would have happened by now. We need more evidence like this.

Eyewitness states: 

On May 4th 2023 I was aboard an American Airlines flight that departed from Charlotte, NC on route to Los Angeles, CA. Approximately at 17:25MDT I observed 6-7 disc shaped glowing objects outside my cabin window traveling West within close proximity of our aircraft. The objects at first appeared in 3 rows stacked 2 per row. The top and bottom rows slightly trailed the middle row, as the objects traveled along side our aircraft they would slowly form a stagnated straight line. Our aircraft was traveling over the state of New Mexico near Taos with an air speed of roughly 490mph and a little over 30,000 feet above sea level. These objects kept pace with our aircraft for the duration of the sighting and didn’t appear to ascend or descend at any point. When I first noticed the objects the lights coming from them appeared a bright yellowish orange color with a flame like appearance. The light source coming from the objects seemed to pulsate at a steady interval, when the light source would dim at times I could make out a reflective silver rim on 2 of the objects. The rim came to a point on both ends of each object, they appeared to be disc shaped or cylindrical in nature. After observing them with the naked eye, I began filming them at approximately 17:26MDT with my phone which records in 4K quality. The objects appeared to have a yellowish white glow to them when viewed through the camera on my phone as opposed to the yellowish orange color when seen with the naked eye. After recording the objects for 1 minute and 22 seconds.

Objects with height

With the right perspective, survey boats and other similar objects from a significant distance (e.g., from the airplane), as in the photo and the video can be represented as shooting celestial objects. Especially good the picture is completed in the frame of the cloud.

So it could be night shots of glowing lights and their clusters - i.e., for example, fishing boats.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

It can be assumed that this is something at ground level that reflects sunlight. For example, a solar power plant with several circles of panels (like this one).
