After taking off from Stansted Airport, a Ryanair aircraft was climbing when it stumbled upon a "black" object at 4,000 feet, according to information made public by the Essex Police.
The police log went on to say that the plane was "20 meters" away from the unidentified object. A Freedom of Information request resulted in the release of the information. A copy of all UFO sighting reports filed over the previous five years, along with a copy of the incident summary and the source of the report, were requested from Essex police.
"Ryanair was climbing out from Stansted Airport and was at a height of 4000ft and just over the St Elizabeth Centre the pilot saw an object which describes as 'black,'" according to the Essex Police account of the 2022 event.
"The object travelled from north to south, and it passed within 20 metres of the aircraft, which was moving at 230 mph. The police log went on, "They have stated that it may have been a drone, but the airport's drone monitoring equipment has not detected it.
Three further incidences from last year in which planes were warned of another "object" over Essex are also included in the report.
There were also incident reports from other people on the Essex Police website. "I would like to report a sighting of an unidentified flying object," claimed one of the Colchester residents. It was metallic in colour, oval-shaped, and seemed to be devoid of any lights or markings. There were absolutely no characteristics of a typical aircraft."
"The object was going directly south of my address from east to west, and it was, I believe, always at a level altitude of about 100 feet. The item was travelling swiftly and smoothly across the sky, not changing in height nor direction, nor being affected by the weather, according to the report dated June 5, 2023.
