The Airprox report included a transcript of the conversation that took place between the aircraft and the controller at 12:55:

A320: "Glasgow Approach [A320 C/S]"

EGPF: "[A320 C/S] pass your message"

A320: "Er yeah we just had something pass underneath us quite close [1255:30] and nothing on TCAS have you got anything on in our area"

EGPF: "Er negative er we've got nothing on er radar and we're n- not talking to any traffic either"

A320: "Er not quite sure what it was but it definitely er quite large [1255:40] and it's blue and yellow"

EGPF: "OK that's understood er do you have a an estimate for the height"

A320: "Maybe er [1255:50] yeah we were probably about erm four hundred to five hundred feet above it so it's probably about three and a half thousand feet."

Did EGPF have a stammer?

Did EGPF have a stammer?

Probably tulip-ing himself at the prospect that he missed some traffic on his screen and nearly caused a mid-air collision - and seeing his job/career float in front of his eyes....

Nothing to worry about - just Zeity popping to the shops.

The blue might have been a UN helmet, the yellow could have been a bowl of pasta

Big yellow thing in the sky above them? I know the weather is crap in Scotland but are they really still confused when they see the sun?

Probably some eejit in a microlight out of Strathaven

And no they don't always paint on radar.
