FAA finds no evidence in pilot's claim of unidentified object over Denver

The Federal Aviation Administration found no evidence of unidentified aircraft or objects in its inquiry into a corporate jet pilot's claim he saw a possible remote-controlled aircraft flying near his jet over Denver this week, the agency said Thursday.

In reaching its conclusion, the FAA reviewed radar and audio communications, and no other pilots reported seeing an unidentified aircraft, acording to an agency statement.

On Monday, the pilot of a corporate jet, a Cessna Citation 525 CJ1, was flying over Denver on Monday after coming in from Wichita, Kansas, according to CNN affiliate KUSA.

Actually, it was likely the moon.

Alien intelligent life hasn't yet visited this planet. If it had, we'd all know.

Other pilots probably couldn't see it considering the distance between aircraft.
