Archive for Thursday 18th September 2003 - UFOs: Readers’ own stories

“About eight years ago I was driving home with my then boyfriend. Above a dark country road we saw something large in the sky. We stopped and stood underneath it, transfixed. The shape was how you would imagine a typical UFO, round on top with a flat underside and windows round the edge. It stayed there above our heads as we stared up in total silence. It felt like an eternity. There was no engine noise, no sound whatsoever. All of a sudden it shot away and was gone. We drove home in silence and did not speak about it for quite a long time afterwards.”
Lucy, Nottinghamshire.

People often do not talk about their experiences. Their friends and families do not want to hear. That is why I am so pleased to receive your stories – many written down for the first time. I have spent hours reading these and will share more of them with you in future weeks. I shall keep all these reports as a valuable archive resouce for future researchers into this phenomenon. Next week, let’s look at what’s really going on - and what might it mean.
