Strange object seen over Stansted Airport

Old files have recently been released by the Ministry of Defense about possible UFO sightings, and one of them contains information regarding Stansted Airport.

Stansted Airport recieved 7 calls from the public after they spotted a strange object in the sky on June 30th 1990 around 2.40am.

One person that did see the object was a member of the RAF while fishing with his uncle, why they were fishing at 2.40am is unknown to me, but he described the object as having "an oblong front, lit up with searchlights, flat around the back with two red lights to the rear", he also said that it had "no engine noise" even though he said that it could have been no more than 200 yards from him.

The man also said when questioned by police about the object that is was "just sitting there over the top of me, no noise. It sat about 10 minutes, the lights went out and then it disappeared.", also, "It didn't shoot off - it just disappeared".

The member of the RAF was one of the 7 people who called the airport that night, and when he called to see if any strange activity had taken place, he was informed that 6 other people had already called about the same sighting.

The report of the siting was submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority at Gatwick Airport, but there was no further action taken.

This is just one of the files released by the MoD containing information about possible UFO sightings between 1986 and 1992. However, the chairman of British UFO Research Association, Robert Rosamond, has said that he doesn't believe that any of the sitings released were real sitings, and that they were just shooting stars or some sort of aircraft.

So, are we not alone in the universe or is it just a shooting star or secret military aircraft, I'll go with option B over A.
