A technical failure, not UFO activity, brought U.S. flights to a halt. On November 13, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily suspended departures nationwide for more than four hours following a major air traffic control communications outage.
Officials attributed the disruption to overloaded networking equipment in aging infrastructure, ruled out a cyberattack, and confirmed that thousands of flights were delayed or canceled.
