UK’s First Close Call Between Drones and Plane
Ryan Boyd May 02, 2017
A new report by the United Kingdom Airprox Board revealed that an Airbus A320 came a little too close for comfort with two spherical drones as it made its descent into Heathrow Airport (LHR) last November.

Although a report was filed with local police, the operators of the drones remain unknown.
