Full Description & Details

I was only about ten years old at the time of this sighting. However, what I describe made a great impression on me and was extremely clear.

There was an airbase called wethersfield (now closed). It was the day before the Wethersfield airshow which used to take place each summer. I had always been interested in planes, so I had been looking out the window a lot during the morning of the sighting, because there had been a lot of aeroplanes around.

I was looking out of the large window at the front of my house just outside the village of Ridgewell. The window faces approximately south-west.

I noticed a dot in the sky a couple of fields away, it rapidy got closer (that is to say it was flying almost directly in my direction). As it got closer over the space of a few seconds I realised it was a white disc. It was small, I dont think larger than 1 metre diameter, and it came directly over the house. It was not high, its hard to give an exact height, I think about 100ft?. It gave the appearence of spinning as it moved. In all I saw it for not more an ten seconds. I lost sight of it as it went over the house, i ran straight out to the back garden but couldnt see it because of the trees. It would have gone over the village of ashen after here.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Obviously not a natural object. Whether man made objects like this exist i dont know, very impressive if they do.

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Well, I saw this as an older child. At the time I was very excited and I will never forget it. I am not sure what to think of what I saw. If I saw it, I feel sure someone else must have. I would love to know.
