Circle over St Neots, CAMBRIDG · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When I saw it, I was trying to figure out if it was a bird but couldn’t see any wings and the pace was different to a bird’s. I shouted to my husband to see it just to be sure that it doesn’t look like a plane or a bird. He did agree that the shape is funny and he could see a light in it which I could see on my turn too. And that just confirmed that it was not a bird. The shape was circular and black travelling in a steady pace and speed. We only couldn’t see it further because the building of the house blocked our view but I assume that it was going to the same direction from North heading West or South or South-West.
