Steve Frazer has broken his silence on the unexplained lights he has repeatedly spotted from his cockpit near Brussels.
The 48-year-old commercial captain, from Cheshire, England, first noticed strange flashing orbs during a flight in 2022 and claims to have seen them six or seven times since. His most recent encounter came last October, by which point the veteran pilot had accumulated video evidence of the phenomena.
Frazer has spent 27 years in commercial aviation, a background that made the sightings all the more puzzling to him. The lights appeared to move at impossible speeds and in patterns that defied conventional explanation, leaving him unable to match them to any familiar aircraft or atmospheric object.
“I saw these lights when I was working and another colleague saw the lights coming back from Lithuania,” Frazer said in an interview with Talk to the Press. “We saw them in the same space and roughly the same direction but it was ever so strange.”
His initial reaction was to reach for a mundane explanation. “I just thought it was a military refuelling aircraft but the way it was moving and speed, it didn’t make any sense,” he said. The pilot noted that despite flying toward the objects for extended periods, his plane never seemed to close the distance.
The encounters have followed a consistent geographic pattern. “In the little video you see the lights coming up from the ground and I seem to recall it was Brussels coming into view back towards the UK – it’s always north-westerly heading,” Frazer explained. He has come to believe whatever he observed was approaching from over the Atlantic.
Frazer’s investigation into the sightings extended beyond his own experience. Through online research, he found other pilots had described similar phenomena, and he believes some may have filed reports through media channels. “It seems to fit with what other pilots have commented on when they’ve seen them,” he added.
The captain emphasized his technical familiarity with common aerial objects that might confuse less experienced observers. “I know what satellites normally look like, I’ve seen plenty of Starlinks and things like that,” he said. “They don’t fit with that movement.”
His accumulated expertise only deepened the mystery. “I’ve been flying 27 years commercially and it doesn’t fit with anything I’ve seen previously,” Frazer said. “Technically in a sense it’s an unidentified object that seems to be flying.” After his first sighting, he initially dismissed the incident and continued his flight without further thought. The repeated nature of subsequent encounters, however, pushed him to speak publicly.
Frazer told Talk to the Press that despite his efforts, he remains stumped. “I just can’t figure it out,” he admitted.
While government agencies including the US government have acknowledged military encounters with unidentified flying objects, no official body has confirmed any sighting as extraterrestrial in origin.
