... did we just nearly collide with during our approach to landing?
On the way from private island Pamalican to Manila in a 16-seater Dornier 228 operated by Island Aviation exclusively for Amanpulo yesterday we made our approach to Manila (after circling for about 25 minutes, presumably due to congestion. On descent at approx 2 kilometres from shore at a height of - I estimate - 500-800 metres I suddenly see a white, probably stationary, object at approximately 50 metres from the plane at our height. Three tennis-sized or slightly larger white balls strung together vertically. My first thought was 'weather probe', my second was 'drone' (too high) and my third was 'woaw, ..., that was close'. If that had hit our propellors...
Anyone have any clue as to what this might have been?
