My family and I were staying in a campground at Horshum, England, near Gatwick
|
|
Airport and about 50 miles south of London in the late summer of 1982 when we
|
|
saw our first UFO. It was between late afternoon and evening, just as dusk
|
|
started to set in, and wife and I had decided to go for a short walk. We
|
|
hadn't gone far when our friend pointed to a bright object in the sky and some
|
|
distance away--perhaps one-half mile.
|
|
|
|
When we wondered what it could be, our friend jokingly said ti might be a UFO.
|
|
We laughed at her, and then started guessing at what else it might be. It
|
|
couldn't be from the sun because the sky was slightly overcast and the clouds
|
|
were wispy. It couldn't be a plane since it wasn't moving. It couldn't be
|
|
reflections form a smelter, because there were no stacks in the area.
|
|
|
|
The brightness was sharply contained within the shape we were seeing. Someone
|
|
suggested it was a balloon but the shape wasn't right. Finally, I said, "Well,
|
|
I'll believe it's a UFO if it finally moves and then moves quickly and doesn't
|
|
change shape until it's out of sight." And that's exactly what it did. I just
|
|
zoomed at warp speed from above us to the distant horizon in seconds, making a
|
|
curve as it left us, just like in a science-fiction movie.
|
|
|
|
At the campground, people told us there had been numerous sightings in the
|
|
area and showed us a newspaper article about a sighting made only a few days
|
|
before. They also said we should report our sighting at the local police
|
|
station. The next morning we went to the station but felt a little sheepish
|
|
when the Constable asked what we wanted. To our surprise, he didn't look
|
|
surprised at all. He just hauled our a ready-made form especially designed for
|
|
UFO sightings! We still laugh about that.
