United Airlines pilots report unidentified object crossing final approach into SFO at “2x the speed of an airplane” — visual + TCAS contact
Time: April 29, 2026 during final approach (evening/night approach; exact local time unknown) Location: San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Francisco, California, USA Found this ATC reconstruction and thought it was worth discussion here. Report concerns United flight UA1389 (B757-300) from Denver to San Francisco. According to the reconstruction, while around 7 miles from SFO on final approach, the crew reported seeing something crossing right-to-left and referenced seeing something on TCAS. After landing, they estimated it appeared to be moving roughly "twice the speed of an airplane." Not claiming aliens or NHI here. What caught my attention is the combination of an airline crew observation, low altitude (~700 ft reported), and an apparent traffic/TCAS component rather than a simple light in the sky. submitted by /u/IWantToBelievePlz [link] [comments]
