NASA astronaut spots 'two metallic spherical orbs' flying by his airplane over Texas

A former NASA astronaut has come forward to reveal that he personally witnessed'two metallic spherical orbs' whizz by his plane this August while flying above Texas. Leroy Chiao, who served as the commander of Expedition 10 to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2004 and 2005, was 9,000 feet in the air when objects'zipped' on the left side of his airplane. He said one flew on top of the other and each was about three feet in diameter. 'It's just kinda dumb luck that they didn't hit me,' said Chiao. The former NASA astronaut estimates that the orbs were only'about 20 feet away.' 'It could've been a bad result, if they had actually hit me,' Chiao said.
