  1. Damn Northern Echo…really couldn’t be arsed to find a picture of RAF planes….or even the A400M?

    That A400M has been training for years now up here, with basically the same flight pattern each time, some nut job clearly wanted a closer look.

  2. Even the aliens are fleeing the UK now!
    “We come in peace but can’t aford the rent, cost of living and astounding rise in inequality. Phone home when you ditch the Daily Mail mentality and Tories!”

  3. This is our bastard planet the RAF were flying in British airspace. The UFO had a near miss with us.
    Bloody aliens coming here and narrowly avoiding an incident with our air force.

  4. > described the object as circular, with a hollow centre (like a doughnut)

    Not sure of this is a case for Benoit Blanc or Michelle Yeoh.

  5. >spotted an object quickly passing them down the right-hand side of their vehicle. They were flying over Currock Hill, in Tyne and Wear.

    >The object, initially thought to be a drone by the crewmembers, then passed level across the windows of the flight deck, only a few feet away from the wing tip.

    Is that implying they passed it and then it came for a second look? How fast can a drone fly? Could a commercially available drone catchup to a plane? With that chinese “weather balloon” over the US the other day, makes me wonder if other nations having drones whizzing above the UK having a nosey. Presumably Russians are trying to determine how Geordies survive winters without coats so they can optimise their winter warfare equipment.

  6. Is there a difference between an Unidentified Flying Object and a Misidentified Flying Object – like this photo?

  7. RAF jet in near miss!

    (Proceeds to show image of an F-15 and F-16… neither of which are RAF aircraft).

  8. Interesting report, the shape and behaviour of the object clearly rules out the possibility of it being a drone but it’s rare for UFO sightings to report objects so small. Also interesting that the military is being so open about this incident, might have something to do with the recent highly publicized federal UFO investigation in the US making the subject less taboo from the perspective of other governments. That said the British authorities have always been a bit more open about this topic than the famously tight-lipped yanks.
