It was certainly a close encounter, but with precisely what remains a mystery.
An airline pilot has reported a near miss in which a rugby ball-shaped UFO passed within a few feet of his passenger jet while flying near Heathrow Airport.
The captain told the aviation authorities who have investigated the incident that he was certain the object was going to crash into his aircraft and ducked as it headed towards him.
The investigation has been unable to establish any earthly identity for the mysterious craft, which left the aircrew with no time to take evasive action.
The incident occurred while the A320 Airbus was cruising at 34,000ft, around 20 miles west of the airport, over the Berkshire countryside.

This story lacks confirmation from the co-pilot, and passengers who might have seen it. -Tom It lacks more than that Tom...
The story does not even mention the airline by name or a flight number...

Heh, heh. It is a ripoff of a line in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Spock and Kirk are in a bus in San Francisco of the mid-80’s and explaining Spock’s quirkyness to the people Kirk said, “He did too much LDS in the 60’s.”

Pink Floyd floated a giant pig for a photo-shoot. Could be something like that.
