Legendary NASCAR Driver Claims He Saw A UFO During Flight
Former NASCAR driver Mark Martin saw a lot of things during his racing career and he swears he saw a UFO once.
Martin raced in both the NASCAR Cup Series and the Xfinity Series and compiled 40 Cup Series wins and 49 Xfinity Series wins during his career. He also finished with 453 top tens in the Cup Series and 152 top tens in the Xfinity Series.
He was a great driver but still thinks he saw a UFO while he was in the air.
“We were coming home, just me and my pilot in my jet. We were coming back from one of the northeast races. Either Loudon or, couldn’t be Pocono. I don’t know if it was Loudon or if it was Dover, or where it was. We were coming home, it was late though, that’s the thing I don’t understand, but it was dark," Martin said to Chase Holden, (first transcribed by On3).

Martin adds that it was pitch black out and he sees a solid white light while keeping it in his eye. He also added that he kept checking for it and it kept getting closer and closer to him before he got nervous that he was going to hit it.
He was with his co-pilot, Jason, and Jason put a camera on the windshield to try and take a picture of it because he also saw it. This story came from the 90s so while it was a long time ago, Martin still fully remembers it.
He is convinced that he saw the UFO while he was in the air and it's a story that he'll continue to tell to anyone who asks about it.
