Hi Mark, yes indeed we have considered this as it was mentioned by at least one other RAF source. The story about it being a Harrier comes from the MoD UFO files where it is reported that analysis by JARIC had identified the escort aircraft as Harriers.

In most of the content I have seen regarding this incident, it's been suggested that the jet circling the object is most likely a Harrier. Have you ever considered that the jet is actually a Panavia Tornado seeing as that's what the QRA were equipped with at RAF Leuchars during 1990?
