A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I spotted this object hovering in the same position from my garden.I immediately went and got my phone and managed to get 3 pictures of this object.There was no noise at all,just after taking the last picture the object got extremely bright underneath then it disappeared vertically within a few seconds.I have never seen anything move so fast in the sky before.I was a trawler Skipper for many years and have seen many shooting stars,space debris breaking through the earth's atmosphere but never seen anything like this especially during the day.I would like to try and find out what this object was it is certainly something I have never witnessed in my lifetime.You will see from the photos that some sort of bright light was coming from the underneath of this object.
