‘Real Alien Sh*t’: US Pilot Reportedly Describes What He Saw Moment Before Iran Blew Him Out Of Sky
The U.S. pilot who was downed over Iran in early April described seeing a “jellyfish”-like swarm of drones the moment he ejected out of his aircraft, according to a report
The downing of the F-15 fighter jet, which carried the pilot and a weapons system officer, in early April marked the first time a U.S. combat plane was shot down over Iran since the war began. The rescued pilot told intelligence officials during a debrief that he saw what appeared to be a formation of drones all moving in unison, CNN reported.
“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” a source familiar with the pilot’s account said, according to CNN. “Real alien shit.”
Another source told the outlet that the pilot described a “minefield of drones.”
Intelligence officials are torn over whether the pilot’s account is fully true, CNN reported. The pilot suffered a concussion during the crash and was also the same pilot who had been accidentally shot down in a friendly-fire incident with the Kuwaiti forces earlier in the war, according to CNN’s sources. It is also unclear whether the weapons system officer saw anything similar to the pilot’s description.
