"Dear Ken and Hilary,
I took this photo while out walking with my parents in Richmond Park.
I am always suspicious of burnt out trees ever since one was half incinerated by a UFO at my friends in Devon, and I look for these signs; so I took a random photo and captured something strange in the background..
I did not see this object at the time.
It was quiet there, no helicopter or drone noise."
"What reminded me that I had this was the fact they are saying that the BA passenger jet that was hit by an unknown object that they thought was a drone...
...but let us imagine IT WAS NOT A DRONE' at all that hit the plane, but rather a UFO... (similar to the object I have photographed here), and such incidents are either inadvertently or deliberately being mis categorized as drone sightings by the press.
Extract from BBC News website April 18, 2016: The British Airways flight from Geneva, with 132 passengers and five crew on board, was hit as it approached the London airport at 12:50 BST on Sunday.
If confirmed, it is thought it would be the first such incident in the UK.
BA said it would give the police "every assistance with their investigation". No arrests have been made, police say.
The Metropolitan Police said the plane was hit by the drone at about 1,700ft (580m) while flying over the area of Richmond Park, in south west London.
No
debris has been found and police have asked for anyone who finds drone parts in
the Richmond area to come forward." end quote
"The jet was hit as it was coming in to land at Heathrow via Richmond Park - what a coincidence, the Royal Park again!
I thought of Hilary saying at her High Wycombe lecture concerning these unknown aerial objects so often reported buzzing our planes - "Fly at your own risk"!!!"
"S"
This is how Independent.ie headlined another Heathrow near-miss story... a very similar incident between a jetliner and a UFO in 2014: "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." read here http://indo.ie/shsAB
Now for an even closer look at the unidentified
in question, captured on camera over Richmond Park 28/04/2016; the image is unchanged save for enlargement; naturally,
excuses will be given - such as 'it's a balloon' or even a 'drone' - but
note what appears to be a ring running around the middlle, also, its
almost acorn-like (or even "rugby ball-shaped"); personally, we
wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what is to our eyes, a mighty strange
looking object...
