Spirit Airlines Passengers Freak Out After Noticing Unwanted Traveler Aboard Dallas to Los Angeles Flight

Passengers aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from Dallas to Los Angeles were shocked to discover that an unaccompanied and unwanted traveler was sitting right above their heads.

An eagle-eyed customer noticed a pair of small claws and a tail on the Airbus A320 aircraft’s roof lighting panel, which houses essential electrical wiring.

It was a case of blink and you’d miss it as the rodent appeared to quickly flee within seconds of being noticed by the passenger sitting in the rear of the aircraft on the three-hour flight to the west coast.

Footage of the shocking incident showing the silhouette moving inside was captured on cellphone video and posted to social media, where it has received more than 2 million views, along with some amusing comments.
