Egg over Wallasey, ENGLAND · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It looked like the ufos you see in movies and was moving horizontally and the lights flashed then paused for a few seconds then flashed again, like a pulse. When I tried getting pictures, my phone started lagging as if something was preventing me from getting an image. I definitely observed one but as I watched it, it felt like something was in my mind. It disappeared and I went inside. Despite how far it was, before and after the encounter I could and can still smell a burnt metallic scent and I can feel something pulsing in my head, the same rhythm as the ship was. This isn’t the first time I have seen it, in fact it is the fourth time. However I dismissed it the first few times
