✈︎Developing Story: A reflective silver object passed dangerously close to a Boeing 777 departing Heathrow, prompting the UK Airprox Board to assign the encounter its highest collision-risk rating: Category A. The incident happened on June 24, 2026, and is receiving fresh coverage today. Media reports identify the aircraft as a British Airways flight bound for New York. According to the official report, the jet was climbing through 5,800 feet, four nautical miles northeast of Guildford, when the object passed in the opposite direction near its right wing. The pilot described it as metallic, reflective and roughly the “size of four toasters,” reporting no more than 50 feet of vertical separation. Horizontal separation was not recorded. A subsequent review by NATS found no corresponding radar contact. The pilot suspected a medium-sized drone, but the board could not establish what the object was. Its assessment concluded that chance had played a major role and/or a definite collision risk had existed. An unidentified object, a close encounter with a departing passenger jet, and no matching radar return. The report leaves its identity unresolved. #ufox #ufotwitter
