UFO spotted over Stansted Airport in 1990

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 had seven people contact them on June 30th 1990 after they saw a strange oblong object floating in the sky at around 2.40am.

One person that did see the object was a man from the RAF and his uncle while they were fishing, why they were fishing at 2.40am is unknown to me, but he discribed 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".

This member of the RAF was one of the seven who called Stansted Airport that night, and when he called to see if there had been any strange aircraft activity, he was told that 6 people had already called that night about the same incident.

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

This one just one of the files that the Ministry of Defense had released containing 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 files released actually contain any sitings, he said that every one of them could be explained: "Some are everyday like aircraft, military or civilian, or astronomical phenomena like shooting stars,".

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.
