Pilots Dodge a Silver "Pill" at 41,000 Feet

A silver pill came out of a thunderstorm straight at two pilots. Radar saw nothing. And the Vice President says he'll get to the bottom of it.

Two pilots flying into a thunderstorm over Ohio watched a silver, pill-shaped object come straight at them out of the clouds. Radar saw nothing. The controller on the tape: "Make sure you include what color the alien was." And across the Atlantic, a British Airways crew reported something "the size of four toasters." We sort what is confirmed from what is claimed.

Plus J.D. Vance on aliens, angels and "bad spirits," and his promise to use his top secret clearance "to get to the bottom of it." Why one congressman says disclosure stops if his side loses Tuesday, Senator Rounds' four one-word answers, an admiral's ocean theory, a light that dropped into the Tay without a splash, the black triangle's two clocks, and what Jay Stratton's book says happened inside his house.
