Triangle over bournemouth, DORSET · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was travelling from Bournemouth square towards county gates in M1 bus. When the bus arrived in Poole hill bus stop I was looking through the window at the sky and just something swirling very easily. I first thought its a bird. then i thought its a flight. But when the bus started to move the object was swirling and swinging and I could see its shape like a Batman. I say batman because the object just reminded me the same. I constantly was staring at it. I couldn't capture the object as my mobile was somewhere in my backpack. I was in awe and curious to see its movement and I didn't want to miss it any second.
