Ok…how do I start this off ?

Firstly …erm…Hiya its me again , the guy that has annual UFO sightings …

I’ve waited all year for this and right on schedule , the UFO’s that I’ve been seeing for the better part of my life have once again shown up …

As I’m sitting here at the computer , I’m writing this into a MS works word processor page , according to sky TV its exactly 2:01 am on Saturday the 25th of July 2009 , channel 530 history +1 is showing a program called battle 360...

The reason I’m putting all of this down is to prove I’m as lucid as I can be at the moment , I’m not drunk or high or extremely tired ( in general I’m a night person anyway )…

Ok…at approximately 1 am , I took my dog mishka out to our back court to do the toilet , I stood outside for a while looking up at the night sky , I had to keep holding my hand up to block out some of the light from our back court lights , but in any case I’m looking up at the sky and deliberately waiting for the UFO’s to show up …

I haven’t seen anything all year , and in the last week or so the weather as been rather bad , the night sky’s have nearly always been overcast , but tonight the sky is clear enough to get a good look at the stars .

So anyway there I am standing there and waiting to see if the UFO will show up …

I don’t know if this has some significance or importance , but I can sort of feel that they will , its like there’s a sense of expectation in the air , so I continue to stand there and let my eye’s fully adjust to the night sky , I’ve been waiting for about 10 min , when suddenly I seen a very dim star move across the sky , directly above and in front of me , moving from west to east …

I fully admit I feel a sense of relief when I see it , the idea of it not showing up …I don’t really know I think it would worry me be it would mean that something has changed …

In any case I decide to go inside and get my hat ( to help block out the light from the back court and save me from using my hand ) , I come back outside and wait for a further 5 or so minutes , but I don’t see anything , I figure what the hell…I go inside grab my coat , my office chair and a strong pair of binoculars .

I settle down and wait …

After about 5 min , I see a small star quickly fly …from what I can see of the middle of the sky , south westerly , heading in the direction of the hill , a few minutes later an almost identical star does the exact same thing …I try to view them through the binoculars , but they’re moving far too quickly .

I wait for a little while longer and decide to take my chair and binoculars inside , I go back outside to the back court and have a smoke …

Within minutes , I see four stars flying in …what I can only call a swirling V formation , and they head in the same direction as the previous two …I had to laugh because it looked like one of the stars was playing catch up with the others , falling into formation and then lagging behind before trying to catch up again .

I follow their path till they fly behind the rooftops out of sight …curious as to where they’re all going , I wait a little longer , then see another star like object fly from the south into the north …jokingly I say to myself “Ok next “ and then another one shows up right on cue following a similar path as the previous one .( maybe it was the two that where heading south in the direction of the hill I don’t know but these one looked a little brighter ) , I wait a little longer to see if any more show up and I see another flying from what I can tell quite high in the sky ..moving in a sort of north-easterly direction …

At this I go back inside at around 1:30 am , though I’m absolutely sure if I stayed out any longer I’d see more and I’m even toying with the idea of going back outside .


Now I don’t know what these are ..but they certainly don’t seem like any UFO I’ve ever hard anybody else describe , I’m trying desperately to find a way of describing how they move …

They move in a very quick but very graceful fashion , almost like a insect fly’s through the air , as for size , well as I’m sure you can guess , judging a small fast moving point of light in the sky is very difficult .

Height…at my best guess , 20 /30 feet above the electricity pylons , maybe more , at times I get the impression that they aren’t very big , maybe a few feet across at best the size of a small car seen at a distance .

I know my eye’s aren’t playing tricks on me and I’m not mistakenly picking out insects that get caught reflecting light , best way I can describe is to say that they are balls of light , flying at a distance , but like I say it almost impossible for me to really judge their size and distance .

So all in tonight in the space of half an hour …maybe a little more , I’ve seen no less than 10 UFO’s , buzzing about the sky …

Ok…its 2:43 am , I’m going to finish this and post it to the forums , make of it what you will , but please know that I’m not crazy and an most certainly not lying to you …

For all I cant tell you what these things are , I can say with some certainty that the fully fit the description of an unidentified flying object .

After I’m done here…I think I will go back outside , who knows , maybe I’ll be able to make some sense of this .

Is it pretty dark out the back then? I am just wondering if there is any point in me trying to go out the back of mine to try and spot any of these but unfortunately we have "security" lights round a building at the back, you know the kind that are put there to attract neds since it means they can see what they are doing. :)

Oh I hate the security lights , we have a switch box in the entrance landing of the building , I keep trying to pry the bugger open so I can turn off the back court light , I was lucky a while back as it was left unlocked , so when I was going out to look I could just reach up and switch the light off , sadly its locked now .

Viewing the sky , it can be dull , I find it really helps if I ware my hat , keeps some of the light out of my eye’s , but even with the security lights , you can still see a lot of the stars in the sky , the back court itself is well lit , but with the woods directly north of the building , it does lower the light pollution a great deal .

But to be honest if you can get half decent view of the stars in a clear patch of the sky , you’ll probably be able to see them regardless of light sources . :ph43r:

Okay cool, it is clear at the moment so maybe I will try later. Is it always a clear sky when you see them then?

That’s one of the odd things about them , it doesn’t have to be a completely cloudless sky , just as long as you can see a fair portion of the sky , you should be ok , keep your eye open for shooting stars ( small meteorites ) , they’re very quick and often have a short tail , you’ll know your seeing the UFO if it looks almost exactly like a star….erm…that’s gone walkabout , in other words its moving across the sky.
