Air traffic was stalled at London’s bustling Heathrow Airport this week when an unidentified flying object landed on the runway. It turns out a young swan decided that the middle of the tarmac would be the perfect spot to swoop down and hang out for a bit. Air traffic controllers were called and broke out into a wild goose chase, driving all over trying to convince the confused swan to leave. They eventually caught the little guy and let him go in a safe, plane-free zone.
