The 23-year-old then claimed the object vanished without a trace. A blue light could be seen glowing behind clouds in the videos Corley posted to social media.

“Say whatever you want. 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,” Corley wrote along with a UFO emoji.

Corley played college football at Western Kentucky and led the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in yards after catch from 2021-23.

The Jets drafted Corley last year in the third round. At the time, he introduced himself to Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers via a FaceTime call, ESPN reported. At one point during the call, Corley landed an invitation to Rodgers’ New Jersey mansion during training camp.

Despite his offseason efforts, Corley’s rookie campaign got off to a slow start. He appeared in just three of New York’s first seven games, recording just one catch for four yards.
