     An airline pilot claims his aircraft experienced a near-miss with a rugby ball-shaped UFO near London's Heathrow Airport.

While the incident took place last July, the details are only now coming to light through a report issued by the UK Airprox Board, which investigates any aircraft near-misses in British airspace. The Airprox Board reports to the UK's Civil Aviation Authority and generally takes about six months prior to releasing information to the public. . . .

Near Mid-Air Collision with UFO Spurs 'Official Investigation & Report'

Near Miss with UFO Spurs 'Official Investigation'

By UK Airprox Board
11-13-13

Editor's Note: On July 19th of this year (2013) Airbus A320 narrowly avoided a midair collision with an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), according to its Captain and post investigative report.

The Captain/pilot stated that he was looking to the west and upon returning his gaze to the forward position he witnessed an object heading straight toward his aircraft. The event was so dire that his knee-jerk reaction was to literally "duck to the right and reach over to alert the First Officer (FO)” as he felt a collision was imminent.

Thankfully the collision didn't take place; however the Captain/pilot reported that it was indeed a close-call. He described the object as a "cigar/rugby ball in shaped, bright silver and metallic in construction.”

In the report (below) the authorities investigating the event eliminated conventional objects and other aircraft and the object, whatever it was—remains unidentified.–FW

      A terrified airline pilot ducked to avoid a UFO he feared was going to smash into his plane at 34,000ft.

The captain of the packed Airbus A320 spotted the silver object heading straight for the cockpit as his plane flew above Berkshire.

He was looking out of the left window a split second before the bizarre incident.

A safety report said: “As he turned to look ahead, he perceived an object travelling towards them at what appeared to be the same level, slightly above the flight deck windscreen.

“Having very little time to focus, he was under the apprehension that they were on a collision course with no time to react.

“His immediate reaction was to duck to the right and reach over to alert the first officer; there was no time to talk to alert him.”

The stunned captain blurted out: “Did you see that?”

But his bemused deputy had not seen the UFO and replied: “See what?”

The pilot’s behaviour made him fear there was a fault with their plane.

“The first officer turned and looked at him thinking some was wrong with the aircraft,” the report revealed.

The captain was so spooked by the incident in July that he reported the sighting to safety watchdogs at the UK Airprox Board , which investigates near-misses in British airspace.

He told experts he saw a flying object shaped like a cigar or rugby ball, which was “bright silver, metallic”.

The “near-miss” happened 20 miles west of Heathrow Airport, according to a report published last week.
