Rugby Ball shaped UFO reported by pilot

An airline pilot reported a near miss with a UFO shaped like a rugby ball while flying near London's Heathrow Airport, according to video from Huffington Post.

An aviation board launched an investigation after the pilot's report, which said that the metallic object came within a few feet of the unidentified jet at 34,000 feet, Huffington Post says. The pilot was expecting a collision but had no time to react as the object came toward him, the report says.

The pilot, who was not identified, told investigators that the object passed “within a few feet” above the jet about 20 miles from the airport.

 The incident took place in July but it recently began getting media attention after the investigators' report was released. They were unable to come up with an explanation.
