Full Description & Details

The craft was an oval shape grey in colour with a bright orange rim, there appeared to be figures moving around the orange light. My wife was first to see it before waking me

then we woke our two young children to witness it. It hovered for some time before accelerating at great speed up through the clouds. I reported it to the daily newspaper and the sighting appeared on the fronf page the next day, but there were no details, only our names were published. The next day we had several phone calls. I asked those who called exactly what they saw and each tallied in detail with our sighting.

At no stage did we hear from any organisation, Govt or otherwise about our experience. My wife was a deeply religious person and this upset her some time afterwards.
