A JetBlue plane had to move fast. It did this to miss another plane. The other plane was from the US Air Force. This happened near Venezuela. Now, people are looking into the problem. It was a Friday. The JetBlue pilot had to stop the plane from going up fast.
The JetBlue plane was going from Curaçao to New York. The Air Force plane did not send a signal. This signal helps see planes. The Air Force plane went in front of the JetBlue plane. The planes were very close. They were only a few miles apart.
The JetBlue pilot told the control center. He was worried. He said, "We almost hit each other." He also said, "They did not turn on their signal." This signal helps track planes. It is good for safety.
JetBlue is helping the government. They will look at what happened. The FAA and the Pentagon know. They will study this.
This happened when the military is more active. The US military works in the Caribbean. They fight smugglers. This makes the area not safe. The FAA told planes to be careful. This near miss shows the danger. It shows planes must talk. All planes must use their signals. People will watch this closely. They hope for new rules.
