Appearance / Description of Object(s)
Oval and grey/metallic looking in the clear blue sky.
There were the occasional white clouds.
A perfect Summers day.
Description of Area / Surroundings
Rural area and Yeovilton Air Base was about 10 mile South but the object showed no sign of slowing...it just shot from North to South in about 8 seconds.
Full Description & Details
I lived with my Son in a flat at Street in Somerset in the United Kingdom.
One Sunday Afternoon my Son was playing football with his mates and I laid on the grass enjoying the warmth of the Sun.
I looked left (North) at the Mendip Hills and saw this oval metallic looking object, slightly tilted, moving very fast in the blue sky.
It disappeared briefly behind a white cloud and reappeared and in about 8 seconds it disappeared over the Southern horizon.
I shouted my Son but by the time he answered the object had gone and there was not a sound.
Can sighting
be explained as any conventional man-made or natural
object?
It looked exactly as I have seen photographs of UFO's...I wondered at the time why a obviously metallic looking object could travel that fast through the sky and not create a sonic boom.
Personal Background
I am now a retired long distance trucker.
I was driving the trucks in Somerset and later here in Nottingham.
So I used to get around.
Views on UFOs, before and after sighting
I wanted my sceptic Son to see it but if I had took my eyes off it I don't think I would have been able to pick it up again.
Some years later I saw a huge black Triangle very low over the town of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk UK about 0530 one Saturday morning.
If it had been a conventional aircraft it would have awoken the whole town.
Someone said it may have been a stealth aircraft.
They are quiet but not that quiet!
Other Comments
Why on Earth didn't I make a note of the date and exact time of the Glastonbury incident.
The thought never occured to me for some strange reason.
