SIGHTING: TYLER, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"On thursday june 1, 2017, i was on american airlines flight #127 from orlando to dallas appx 20 minutes from landing at dfw, time was appx 7;13am the sun was impressive in the clouds, so i decided to take a picture. i snapped the attached photo with my galaxy s7 phone and when reviewing it right after, i noticed the orb looking thing in the photo. i was seated in 3f. i looked outside and the orb was difficult to see because the sun was bright, but it was there. we were traveling at about 400mph, at about 14,000 feet on approach so it is hard to judge movement. it appeared to move back into the clouds, but it could have been the planes flight path giving the appearance that it moved into the clouds. i showed the photo to the flight attendants who took the phone to show the rest of the crew, all of whom i could see their confusion and excitement about it. they asked me to show the captain upon landing, which i did. the captain said he thought it was a drug balloon (instead of a drone) and i said do they look like that and he admitted he had no idea. so he really didn't know what it was either, but said it appeared man-made. i had no idea what it was and still don't know what it could be. i woulf have not noticed it were it not for taking the photo as it was kind of tucked under the clouds and i was watching the sun. eventually, after about 2 or 3 minutes, it went out of sight from my vantage point of looking out my plane portal window as the plane was still moving fast. everyone i've showed the photo to has been confused on what it could be, so i was hoping by submitting this, perhaps someone else saw the same thing, or you may have seen similar objects before and can clue me into what it could be. thank you very much."
