A pilot had a dangerous encounter over south Hertfordshire with an unknown object. The details of sightings come amid growing concerns over spy balloons.
The UKAB concluded the incident had the second-highest level of risk as “safety had been much reduced below the norm”.Another incident revealed in the data was on December 17, at 1,850ft above Enfield in north London, where the pilot of an EV97 light aircraft reported an object that “could have been a balloon or an egg-shaped drone” flying “directly below them by 50-200ft”.
The pilot said it was in “close proximity” and described it as a “white object, considered to be a threat” and “rectangular”. On July 2, a pilot of a Boeing 757 saw “what was first thought to be balloons” at 7,500ft shortly after departing from Manchester Airport.
