A UFO was filmed by a pilot flying over Costa Rica. The silver, rounded orb flew past his airplane at an incredible rate of speed. What is it?
The video below, posted to YouTube, is a Costa Rican TV broadcast report in Spanish. But the translation in the description tells the story. The pilot was filming out the window with an iPhone when the silver orb whizzed past. But, he claims, he did not notice it at the time.
A closeup of the saucer-like object doesn't help much to identify what it is, but it doesn't resemble any known aircraft. And it cannot be a bird as it is much too large and flying much too fast.
The UFO is rounded, silvery and doesn't appear to have wings. It's not showing aviation running lights and there is no exhaust plume exiting the tail. The craft does resemble many other unidentified flying objects filmed in the area in the last few years, which is considered to be a hotspot for sightings.

Footage captured by a pilot over costa rico appears to show an unidentified flying object. The footage corresponds to a flight on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
In the video we see a rapidly moving object below the aircraft.
The video was captured by the commercial pilot Joseph Daniel Araya, who has more than 500 flight hours. Araya says he was recording with his cell phone when suddenly the camera screen saw the object moving, When he looked out of the aircraft there was nothing, said the pilot,
To find an answer to what happened we went to Jose Alberto Villalobos, astronomer and UFO researcher Alexis Astua.
Villalobos estimated that the object on the screen could have a length between 7 and 10 meters. Its speed could reach 3600 kilometers per hour, seven times more than the ship from which the footage was captured,
Meanwhile Astua does not rule out a UFO but also a secondary reflection theory.The sighting in the South is not strange, since in this region there are constant reports.
