United Airlines

United Airlines, founded in 1926 in the United States, is a major civilian commercial airline. Primarily engaged in passenger and cargo air transportation worldwide, it has incidentally intersected with UAP/UFO contexts through crew-reported sightings. A notable 2023 incident involved a United Airlines flight near Cleveland, Ohio, where the pilot reported a fast-moving cylindrical object passing overhead at high speed, prompting FAA notification and radar confirmation. Another event in 2021 saw a United Airlines aircraft nearly collide with a rocket-like UAP off the California coast. These reports contributed to Pentagon analyses by AARO, highlighting aviation safety risks from unexplained aerial phenomena, though no direct involvement in UAP research or government programs exists. United Airlines remains operational as one of the largest U.S. carriers.
