I was a pilot for Delta for a while. I saw something fly very close to us as we were climbing out of the clouds. I was the copilot and the captain saw it too. It must not have had an active transponder because it didn’t trigger our TCAS and ATC didn’t pick it up on radar. We both filed a report with Delta and the FAA. I don’t know what happened with those reports but I’m pretty sure they were quietly buried. Both of us absolutely saw something, with enough certainty to sign a sworn affidavit. But it didn’t show up on radar, so officially it never existed. This is highly concerning to me. Neither myself nor the captain approached this with the premise of little green men. We were both very concerned about the possibility of drones with advanced stealth operating in US airspace, and we were utterly dismissed.
