On
the 31st of March 1999, we had been out for a bar meal to
a small village called Pailton in the Warwickshire countryside.
There were four of us in the car that night. At approximately
9:30 pm, we left the White Lion public house and headed
home. We turned onto the Fosse Way near the village of Monks
Kirby and immediately noticed some bright lights ahead of
us. The lights were ½ mile away and just off the
road to the left. We drove down parallel to the lights which
I now estimate as being only 100 feet away! We had slowed
right down by this point. I stared at the four lights which
were in a row, but not level with the ground, I would say
they were tilted at approx. 25% to the horizon. I stared
into the light on the far left, this light was the highest
side of the tilt with the far right light being the anchor
point for the 25% angle. It was at this moment I also noticed
a fifth smaller spurious light off to the left hand side
As
I stared into the end light, I could see a criss cross of
lines a bit like a traffic light lens, it seemed to pulse
very rapidly in a digital fashion, i.e. on off, not up and
down. As I was looking at this light and then the lights
in general, I noticed a shape start to appear around them,
the edges looked like the sky was rippling but they and
the body, I believe, were transparent at that time. As soon
as I had realised there was an object there, it tilted slowly
upwards in a most peculiar fashion, like an airship or submarine;
the object was now solid and fully materialised in a triangular
shape. The tilt was not from the centre of the craft but
from the rear, i.e. the rear end stayed where it was and
the nose rose in the air. It was so low that if it had pivoted
from the centre of the craft, the rear would have struck
the ground! I noticed the surface looked to be alive, it
was like a lake of dark grey liquid similar to Mercury.
The liquid although tilted quite steeply looked as though
it had waves running up and down the surface, like ripples
on a lake in a breeze. On top of this “lake” were
silver lines running up and down the surface; they were
like box sections raised off the surface which interlocked
like an old fashioned maze.
I
could see how the craft's top and bottom surfaces joined
to a lighter central core, like a sandwich. No nuts and
bolts, rivets or welding seams visible. There were no apertures,
no antennas or protrusions of any kind. It was immediately
obvious to me this was not an earthly object. I was shouting:
stop, stop, let me out (I wanted to get even closer!) but
the driver pulled slightly forward to enable her to reverse
into a gateway off the main road. The result of this was
that a large hedge momentarily blocked our view of the craft.
I thought to myself: “if it’s going to clear off,
now would be a good time”. And sure enough, it did!
