NOTE: This is an update to an original story on a near-miss with a drone reported by Delta flight 407 on Friday, July 31st, 2015. To read the original story, click HERE

JOHN F. KENNEDY INTL. AIRPORT – Footage released yesterday that was taken on July 7th shows another near-miss with a drone-like object with an aircraft at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

This is one of many reported near-misses recently with drone-like objects. Not only are these incidents happening at JFK, but they are happening at airports around the United States and even worldwide. A near-miss is defined as when an object breaks vertical or horizontal separation with an aircraft. The FAA standards require at least 1,000ft of vertical separation.

Some say the object in question seen flying over the Virgin Atlantic 747 on July 7th is not a drone, but is a UFO and proof of alien existence.

Take a look at the video, and let us know what you think the object is in the comments.
