My one UFO sighting was on a humid summer night in June 2004. I was preparing to go to bed at my brother's house, I was staying the night there. We, unusually for that time, were not drinking booze. There was only a sofa to kip on, but I was tired and content. We'd been watching the Jack the Ripper film "From Hell", which was very good, and we spent a few hours smoking cigs discussing psychopaths and freemasonry at length. In short a great night.
Anyway, before I settled down to sleep I had the sudden need to go pee, so I made my way up the stairs to the loo. That's when I could hear this high frequency hissing noise in my brain, it felt internal, not external. Very strange. Suddenly I felt like I was being watched, or that I was not alone. My brother was sound asleep by this point, so I was silent walking across the landing to the loo. I went to go pee, and then looked out of the window because I felt sure there was something out there; this part is still strange to me, because there was nothing suspicious other than the hissing sensation in my tired brain. It was about 2.30am. I don't know what made want to look out of the window.
That's when I saw it. It was extraordinary, a large-ish craft shaped rather like a more curved shape of a rugby ball, with windows along the edges of it. It was kind of silvery blue, kind of monochromatic. It made no sound and disappeared in a flash, it made no movement. I was absolutely stunned to see such a thing! I'd been reading about UFO's the previous year or so, so such concepts were on my mind at that time. I left the bathroom swiftly and quietly made my way downstairs to the sofa. My mind was racing, what the hell had just happened?
For the first time in years, a decade even, I prayed that night before trying to sleep. I felt like I needed reassurance and protection. Emotionally I was reacting to a vision which in my mind may have been a hostile presence. Sleep eluded me however, and I lay on the sofa just thinking and thinking, I'd never experienced a night like it. This went on until about 6am. The sun was rising and I decided to head back home nice and early, and possibly catch a few hours kip once I'd got back. It was a very quiet and eerie vibe as I walked home, then I saw an odd thing again. I saw a black 1950's style limousine slowly making its way past me on the road. I clocked the geezer driving this highly incongruous vehicle (this was 6am). He looked bald, very old and grey, wearing white gloves. So weird now looking back.
Anyway I made it back home, thinking all the way, just a mindblowing 12hr period in my life. I got back, went straight to bed and slept immediately. And I didn't think about the whole UFO thing for a few years, I just kind of blocked the memory out. And that's that. It was a very strange night indeed.
