SUBJECT: Sighting at Air Show UK FILE: UFO86

I have read your bulls on the subject of UFO sightings. I thought
|
||
|
|
I'd send you my own experience of seeing something odd, I won't
|
||
|
|
claim it as a genuine UFO, particulary as it's "presence" brought
|
||
|
|
no noticable reaction from the RAF, it could have been a trick of
|
||
|
|
the light on high cloud, but it certainly looked solid.I have
|
||
|
|
always found the subject interesting but have never classed
|
||
|
|
myself as a "believer", I prefer to think I have an open mind.I
|
||
|
|
am very interested in aircraft and a regular pilgrimage is to the
|
||
|
|
bi-annual airshow held at RAF Valley on Anglesey. One of the shows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
held six years ago was on a particularly good day, the weather was
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ideal, almost totally clear skies with only a few very high wispy
|
||
|
|
clouds. The show had been underway for some time with all types of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
aircraft flying at various altitudes, plenty of time to assess
|
||
|
|
visibility and the effects of distance etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During a lull in the display I was scanning the skies trying to
|
||
|
|
spot the arrival of the next aircraft when I spotted what I could
|
||
|
|
only describe as a "bar" very high, immediately overhead. I first
|
||
|
|
thought it was the wing of an aircraft but I couldn't see a
|
||
|
|
fuselage, I looked through my binoculars but could see no more.
|
||
|
|
The object was a perfectly straight line with slightly rounded
|
||
|
|
ends and was motionless,this I could judge by it's position
|
||
|
|
relative to the few small clouds in the vicinity. The object was
|
||
|
|
light coloured, white or silver and very high, this I could
|
||
|
|
judge by the fact that it's distance was causing a "blueing" of
|
||
|
|
the colour, an effect I had noted on planes in the display when
|
||
|
|
flying at maximum altitude (watch any commercial airliner flying
|
||
|
|
high on a clear day & you'll see what I mean). Being able to
|
||
|
|
judge it's altitude I could also estimate it's size which was
|
||
|
|
extremely large, as big as a commercial airliner or bigger.An
|
||
|
|
interesting point was that all planes which had achieved enough
|
||
|
|
altitude for the "blueing" to occur had also left a vapour trail,
|
||
|
|
this object had none.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I observed the object for about five minutes and brought it to
|
||
|
|
the attention of my family, I also noticed quite a number of
|
||
|
|
groups near to us also looking at, pointing and photographing the
|
||
|
|
object (I had run out of film).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After about five minutes I noticed a change in the object, it
|
||
|
|
appeared to be changing shape, becoming "fatter" in the centre,
|
||
|
|
more of an oval than a bar. Slowly it continued to change until I
|
||
|
|
realised that what I had been looking at was the edge or rim of a
|
||
|
|
circle which was now turning to present itself "full face". The
|
||
|
|
object now appeared to be a ring with no centre (like a Polo
|
||
|
|
Mint), although the centre may have been of a darker colour which
|
||
|
|
corresponded with the blue of the sky. The object remained in
|
||
|
|
this position for a further minute or so until one of the few
|
||
|
|
clouds in the sky drifted slowly over it's position. When the
|
||
|
|
cloud passed by, prehaps some five minutes later, the object had
|
||
|
|
gone. During the whole of the time the object had not changed
|
||
|
|
it's position in the sky.
