Another near-miss collision involving a United States Air Force plane in midair was reported off the coast of Venezuela on Saturday, Dec. 13, merely one day after a similar incident involving a JetBlue passenger jet.

Radio transmissions captured by LiveATC.net and reviewed by CNN reveal the pilots of a private aircraft flying near the Dutch Island of Curaçao narrowly avoided a U.S. Air Force refueling tanker. The unidentified operators of the Falcon 900EX business jet flying from Aruba to Miami reported the incident over the radio, according to the audio recording.

“They were really close,” one of the pilots told air traffic controllers in Curaçao, per the outlet. “We were climbing right into him… It was big, maybe a 777 or a (767).”

A U.S. Air Force spokesperson referred PEOPLE to the U.S. Southern Command for comment, but the department did not immediately respond.

Just a day prior, a JetBlue pilot was forced to stop their plane’s climb as a U.S. military aircraft went into their flight path, per ABC News, CNN andThe Guardian.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot told air traffic control, per CNN. “They passed directly into our flight path… They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

JetBlue flight 1112 had departed Curaçao International Airport for New York City just before 4:30 p.m. local time, according to FlightAware.

“We just had traffic pass directly in front of us within 5 miles of us — maybe 2 or 3 miles — but it was an air-to-air refueler from the United States Air Force and he was at our altitude,” the JetBlue pilot continued, CNN reported. “We had to stop our climb.”

The controller replied: “It has been outrageous with the unidentified aircraft within our air.”

In a statement shared with CNN, JetBlue confirmed the incident had been reported to federal authorities and the airline will “participate in any investigation.”

“Our crew members are trained on proper procedures for various flight situations, and we appreciate our crew for promptly reporting this situation to our leadership team,” said the spokesperson, per CNN.

The Pentagon and Dutch aviation officials confirmed to the outlet they’d be reviewing the incident.

PEOPLE previously reached out to JetBlue, U.S. Southern Command, Curaçao Civil Aviation Authority, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force for further comment.

On Nov. 21, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a warning to carriers to “exercise caution” when operating in Venezuelan airspace “due to the worsening security situation and heightened military activity.”

“Threats could pose a potential risk to aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight, the arrival and departure phases of flight, and/or airports and aircraft on the ground,” the statement continued.
