Air France is investigating an incident that occurred on a flight from Paris to New York on Monday, in which the pilots reported seeing a "luminous object" near the plane.
The incident occurred about an hour after the plane took off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. The pilots reported seeing the object, which they described as being bright and round, about 10 miles away from the plane.
The pilots said the object appeared to be moving quickly and erratically, and they were unable to determine what it was.
The airline said it is taking the incident seriously and is working with the French aviation authorities to investigate it.
Air France said it has changed the flight path of its planes flying between Paris and New York to avoid the area where the incident occurred.
The airline said it is also working with the French aviation authorities to determine what the object was and whether it posed a threat to the plane.
The incident is the latest in a series of reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) being seen near planes.
In recent months, there have been several reports of UFOs being seen near military bases and airports in the United States.
The US government has said it is investigating these reports, but has not yet determined what the objects are.
