Unknown over Southampton, HAMPSHIR · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving into my road, on the right where the road splits in two, I slammed on the brakes as I saw a huge craft that had large circular lights that seemed to be folding in on itself. Wondering what it was I got scared and drove forward out of view. I then reversed after 5 or so seconds and the massive craft was gone! This was not an obstacle illusion as I got a good look at it. I tried looking around but it just vanished. The lights were white and green. This was a real sighting I'm sure of it and this isn't a hoax I promise. Happy to be contacted about this. No sounds at all!
