At least one NFL player witnessed a UFO this offseason. Whether or not their eyes were deceiving them is a different story though. 

On Tuesday night, New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley posted a few videos of the sky on social media. The former third-round pick from Western Kentucky was in Florida when this UFO fighting occurred. 

"Say whatever you want," Corley wrote on X. "This object(ufo), was legitimately up in the sky for over 30 minutes. I watched it. I stopped watching for about 2 minutes and looked up it was gone. No trace." 

Unsurprisingly, NFL fans trolled Corley for this social media post. Some even questioned if he's losing his mind. 

"These are the Hard Rock casino lights. I'm almost 100% confident," one fan said. 

"That's a spotlight man," another fan replied. 

"Aaron Rodgers left a lasting legacy on the young WRs in his short time with the Jets I see," a third fan commented. 

As of Thursday morning, Corley's videos have over 222,000 views. 

While we're not sure what the blue light in Corley's first video actually was, it's pretty apparent that NFL fans don't believe it was a UFO. 

Corley didn't seem too offended by the replies to his tweet. In fact, he laughed at a few comments.

Corley, a former All-Conference USA wide receiver, had 3,035 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns at Western Kentucky. Countless analysts raved about his playmaking abilities leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Unfortunately for Corley, he didn't receive much playing time with the Jets this past season. In nine games, he hauled in just three passes for 16 yards. He had a brutal fumble against the Houston Texans on Oct. 31. 

Perhaps the Jets will have a bigger role lined up for Corley this fall.
