Charlie Kirk saw a UFO after a Penn State game a year ago. Here’s what we know

The country was rocked last month when conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah.

For fans of Kirk — and the country in general — the wounds of that and the rifts it created have yet to be fully sorted out.

That will take time.

But looking back through the files on Kirk brought a … well, a pretty weird story from just a year ago.

Kirk was known to be a sports fan, and he took in a lot of games. He made appearances at those and spoke, too.

Kirk was in the house last year and on the sidelines at Wisconsin on Oct. 26 for the Badgers’ game against Penn State. The Nittany Lions won that game, 28-13, and when it was all through, Kirk hopped on a jet and headed back toward home.

And that is when things got interesting as Kirk shared a video to social media trying to figure out just what in the heck he might have been looking at in the sky.

Not saying it was aliens, but, at least by definition, whatever he saw up there were certainly unidentified flying objects.

Kirk shared a video to X around 1 a.m. that Sunday morning filmed from the cockpit of his flight and there was definitely something strange going on up there.

“I was flying back from Wisconsin on a friend’s plane tonight and got called up to the cockpit,” he wrote along with the video. “The pilots were very confused at what they were seeing. Something was above them and not showing on radar. I’m sure there is a logical explanation here. Watch this video and tell me what I am missing.”

The pilots pointed out in the video several objects that appeared to be circling high above the plane.

“We are at 40,000 feet,” the pilot said. “So, whatever that is has to be at 80,000 or 100,000 feet. I mean way up there.”

“They are at 100,000 feet?” Kirk asked.

“They’d have to be,” the pilot responded.

Kirk later asked, again, if radar would pick it up if it was an airplane.

“What kind of thing wouldn’t be picked up by radar?” he asked the pilot. “Could it be military?”

The pilot guessed it may be something stealth.

He checked their location on GPS at that time, and it appeared they are flying through New Mexico — Roswell, anyone? — into Arizona at the time the video was filmed. However, the pilot and co-pilot said they had been seeing the circling lights for most of the trip.

The word the pilot kept using to describe it was, “weird.”

And it definitely was weird.

Kirk’s followers chimed in with many finding ways to make political jokes about the video, but others tried to offer real explanations.

A popular answer was “satellites,” but in the video the pilots discussed the fact that they did not appear to be satellites because they were circling instead of going in a straight line.

Check out the video here and see if you know what Kirk was seeing.

Was it satellites? Space trash? Some sort of surveillance operation? Secret government weapons? Maybe something Halloween related?

Aliens?

We never got an answer to what was a very weird situation in the skies.
