RAF North Weald, England: Meteor Jet Near-Collision with Three Saucer-Shaped Discs
On October 14, 1954, a Meteor jet from RAF North Weald at 16,000 feet encountered three discs on collision course — silvery metallic, saucer-shaped with 'a bun on top and a bun underneath.'
Background
In the afternoon of October 14, 1954, a Meteor jet aircraft, part of the Middlesex Squadron of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, was flying from RAF North Weald, Essex, England, at 16,000 feet when three discs suddenly approached. The Meteor and the intruders were on a collision course. Two broke off and away while the third continued on a direct line. When within a few hundred yards, it finally veered away. The pilot banked to give chase but the discs were nowhere in sight.
Each vehicle 'was saucer-shaped with a bun on top and a bun underneath, and was silvery and metallic. There were no portholes, flames, or anything.'
