Is this a drone strike at LHR
 

Came across this video of aircraft landing at LHR ,

If you look closely, you can see an object tracking in front of the landing aircraft and then something falling down.
From second 1 to 10 you can see a black dot slightly left (viewers point of view) and above slowly coming closer and then you see an object falling down.
Seems to be a drone strike according to me rather than a bird strike, but I can not find any reports of such an event.

What are your thoughts?

Predator (the feathered variety) diving at its prey.

Can't see any contact with the aircraft.

Hard to tell. If it was a Drone then I expected it to be fragmented, not a big lump as shown. Could be a lump of 'grey water' melted off. If you can give the Reg or date/time then someone who saw it in might enlighten you.

Certainly looks like a bird to me. Not a peregrine in Stuka mode though, I've seen one stoop and it looked like a stone falling, not a fluffy bundle. Might be a kestrel.

Tough to tell. It didn't change direction and it did become more prominent.

Were it a drone hit I would expect a drastic alteration in direction and, at 100+MPH, just a puff of small fragments. I would expect the sound of collision would be noticed inside the plane.

A hit from a hawk or falcon on some other bird would continue in a pretty constant direction, becoming more prominent as the wings are deployed to slow down.

And I wouldn't expect the aircraft to be pushing back on its next sector after an hour's turnround.
