A passenger aircraft above Scotland had a narrow miss with an unidentified flying object, a report by the UK Airprox Board has revealed.
The Airbus A320 was 4,000 feet above Glasgow when the incident occurred on a clear day at the beginning of December.
The report reveals that an alarmed pilot alerted traffic controllers to the presence of ‘something’ passing just 300-400 feet under his plane.
The pilot logged the risk of collision with the object, which did not appear on radar, as ‘high’.
A report by investigators was unable to establish what the object had been
The aircraft involved was approaching Glasgow airport on 2 December 2012 when the incident happened, according to the BBC.
The plane was making its approach over the Baillieston area of the city with landing lights on.
The non-flying pilot reported seeing an object “loom ahead” at a range of about 100m.
