Light over Chawton (near) (Hampshire) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Coming out the door of my upstairs flat and looking south, I noticed a very bright white light in the night sky over a nearby field at an altitude of about 900-1,000 feet (so it cannot of been a star or planet), I watched it for some seconds walked downstairs and It looked for a few seconds like it had some kind of aura or haze underneath it or emitted this aura/light/haze deliberatetly or not. It the light then seemed to fade away come back and then fade away again. This is the same field where I observed and filmed a highly strange glowing pure white disc/saucer shape craft hovering over on 22nd June, 2002.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133048). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
