Narrative:
Cleared to land approximately 8 miles from runway. Going through about 1000 ft captain and I began a discussion about what appeared to be unusual lights on runway. At about 500 ft; captain (PF) keyed microphone and confirmed landing clearance. Very shortly after that; the landing lights illuminated the threshold and we saw an aircraft on the runway. We immediately initiated a go around. ATC issued go around instructions almost simultaneously. We passed approximately 400 ft over aircraft.

Narrative: CLRED TO LAND APPROX 8 MILES FROM RWY. GOING THROUGH ABOUT 1000 FT CAPT AND I BEGAN A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT APPEARED TO BE UNUSUAL LIGHTS ON RWY. AT ABOUT 500 FT; CAPT (PF) KEYED MIKE AND CONFIRMED LNDG CLRNC. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THAT; THE LNDG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE THRESHOLD AND WE SAW AN ACFT ON THE RWY. WE IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A GO AROUND. ATC ISSUED GO AROUND INSTRUCTIONS ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY. WE PASSED APPROX 400 FT OVER ACFT.
