A RYANAIR jet came within “20 metres” of a UFO, police logs show.

It was climbing out of Stansted Airport when it encountered a “black” object at 4,000ft.

Essex Police released details of the incident in a Freedom of Information request.

The log reads: “The pilot saw an object he described as ‘black’ which passed within 20 metres.

“The plane was travelling at 230mph and the object from north to south. They said it was possibly a drone — but monitoring equipment has not picked it up.”

A further three planes were alerted to another “object” over Essex last year.

Gary Heseltine, UFO Truth Magazine editor, said: “Strange aerial things are being reported on a regular basis.”

Earlier this year a witness called cops after seeing a UFO over Colchester in June.

The caller said: “I would like to report a sighting of an unidentified flying object. The object appeared oval in shape and was a metallic colour with no apparent markings or lights. There were no conventional aircraft characteristics at all.

“The object was travelling east to west just south of my address in a straight line and the altitude was level around 100 feet at all times, as a guess. The object was moving quickly across the sky very smoothly with no deviation in height or direction or without any effects of the weather is the only way I could describe it.

“It was moving too fast for a bird and definitely was not a balloon that usually gets affected by the wind causing them to turn or tumble. This was unaffected by the light breeze blowing. This was a solid oval shape and was silent.

“This was not a drone or model aircraft due to the way it was flying. I viewed this from inside the rear of my home and then this object did not leave my sight until it was too far in the distance and obscured by another property. I have no explanation as to what this object could be.”
