The men, each with more than eight years on the job, described how they were helping guide a small plane to a landing on runway 22 when they were distracted by a brightly lit object approaching a different runway without clearance. 

"Everyone became aware that the object was unidentified," their report said. "SATCO (code name for a controller with 14 years experience) reports that the object came in 'at speed,' made a touch and go on runway 27, then departed at 'terrific speed' in a 'near vertical' climb."

The incident is one of the more credible in the newly public files because it was reported by air traffic controllers, said David Clarke, a UFO expert who worked with the National Archives on the document release.

"They were absolutely astonished," he said. "It was a bright, circular object, flashing different colors, and after it touched down it disappeared at fantastic speed. The report comes from very qualified people, and it's one of the few that remained unexplained."

[quoteI don't believe it was a UFO. I suspect it's some sort of highly developed vehicle for transporting baggage between aircraft and terminal at London Heathrow's Terminal Five.

It may have been a pair of mating butterflies. Why do they keep worthless and ridiculous testimonies like this secret? Obviously they have got something to hide. Equally obviously this report is not it.
