1
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:03,830
well the whole story began last tuesday

2
00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:06,240
when we were flying in a vampire night

3
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,839
fighter over kent

4
00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:09,360
and uh

5
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:11,599
twenty thousand feet and i first cited

6
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:14,880
this object the first sighting was of a

7
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:17,760
tiny pinpoint of bright light

8
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:19,840
my first impression was that it was a

9
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,800
star shining through the overcast

10
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:24,560
and uh i looked around see if there were

11
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,880
any more stars obviously the branch

12
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,039
and i continued washing this thing and

13
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,160
for about 15 to 20 seconds it remains

14
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,960
stationary neither moving left or right

15
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:37,120
um after this

16
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:38,000
time

17
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:39,840
the thing obviously was moving towards

18
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:40,559
us

19
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:42,320
and before i reached the overhead

20
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:44,640
position i nudged my navigator right off

21
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,680
the smile

22
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:48,000
to have a look up

23
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:49,200
by the time it got to the overhead

24
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,160
position

25
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,160
it appeared to be moving at quite a fast

26
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:53,760
fantastic speed

27
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:54,879
and uh

28
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:56,719
my impression of it more as a

29
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,480
photographic impression

30
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,960
uh was of a round

31
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:02,239
object

32
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,760
uh quite a

33
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:05,439
distinct outline

34
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:08,080
still with the same intense light with a

35
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,360
maximum light

36
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:11,520
uh around or towards the periphery of

37
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,040
the circle

38
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,360
not quite so intense in the center

39
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,200
the size

40
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:18,720
uh the only thing i can compare it with

41
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,439
is the sun or the moon and i had said

42
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:23,600
that the size was approximately half to

43
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,080
three quarters of the size of the moon

44
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,320
and it's tight well there again i

45
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:30,159
haven't anything to

46
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,360
compare

47
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:33,840
it with there's no cloud on that there

48
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:35,119
no there's no cloud at all the

49
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,560
visibility was around 100 miles from

50
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:38,240
where we were we could actually see the

51
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:39,759
other side of the island point and what

52
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:42,320
about its speed

53
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:43,920
well i can't give anything occasional

54
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,280
speed as i can't give a true um idea of

55
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,680
the height the thing is i can say that

56
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:52,079
the impression was of an object very

57
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,280
much higher above us and

58
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:57,600
therefore depending on height would

59
00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:59,759
depend on the speed but truly has a very

60
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:01,360
fantastic speed

61
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:04,000
in roughly the opposite direction

62
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:05,520
thank you very much

63
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:08,000
so trying off the smile can we have your

64
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:10,160
side of the story

65
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,000
well i was rather busy at the time and i

66
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:14,080
didn't see anything until the pilot told

67
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,280
me to

68
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:17,280
look up

69
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:19,120
when i looked up i saw this bright

70
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:20,720
object almost immediately in the head

71
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,400
going in the opposite direction quite

72
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,959
fantastic speed

73
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,879
and could it have been

74
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,120
any sort of meteorological

75
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,440
instrument or balloon

76
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:33,440
in your opinion

77
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,360
but i don't think so we've gone into

78
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,440
this business we've argued

79
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,680
out amongst ourselves and we

80
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,360
we haven't yet arrived at any anything

81
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:44,080
conclusive we didn't think it was a met

82
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,440
balloon we didn't think it was another

83
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,560
aircraft

84
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,480
they're pretty used to seeing those i've

85
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:53,030
yeah so what about your

86
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:56,080
conclusions you say you've drawn none um

87
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,680
what did you think about this whole

88
00:03:02,149 --> 00:02:59,280
flying saucer

89
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:02,159
story before you before you came across

90
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,280
this one

91
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:06,000
for this event well after this this time

92
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,319
i i was a confirmed skeptic but now i
