Pilots are calling for research into what would happen if a drone hit an airliner, after 23 near-misses around UK airports in six months last year.

According to BBC News, reports from the UK Airprox Board reveal the incidents happened between April 11th and October 4th, 2015.

In one incident a drone passed within 82 feet of a Boeing 777 near London Heathrow Airport.

Pilots union Balpa wants the government and safety regulator to back research into how serious a strike could be.
