The pilot of a passenger plane reported seeing a "flying saucer" feet away from their plane as it came in to land. The sighting of the suspected drone was highlighted in a report into the incident in April that took place as an Airbus jet prepared to touch down at Gatwick Airport, the Sun reported. The object looked like a disc with darker markings on the rim, a suspected possible drone but not sure. A second drone ­incident also occurred in April at London's Heathrow Airport. In 2018 an unidentified drone flying above Gatwick Airport in the UK forced the suspension of operations for more than 36 hours.
