Location: Bagshot Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom
David
and Susan McMurray were driving home across Bagshot Heath,
Surrey, to Famborough, Hampshire, with their two children
when they encountered a "huge saucer-like craft about
50ft. long with brilliant lights coming from portholes
around the centre. Then it suddenly took off." When
a second craft began to tail the family's car, David stopped,
got out and went to investigate. But it, too, took off.

A
family had a bizarre close encounter on a day out —
with two UFOs.
The
first flying saucer put butcher David McMurray and wife
Susan in a spin when it hovered in front of their car.
Minutes
later a second "spacecraft" flew into view —
and now the strange sightings are being probed by experts.
David
and Susan were driving home across Bagshot Heath, Surrey,
to Famborough, Hampshire, with their two children Paul,
5, and Katie, 18 months.
David,
35, said: "I saw something hovering above the
road In front of us. I could not believe my eyes."
"It
was a huge saucer-like craft about 50 ft. long with brilliant
lights coming from portholes around the centre. Then it
suddenly took off." When a second craft began
to tail the family's car, David stopped, got out and went
to Investigate. But it, too, took off.
David
said: "The whole family were weak and trembling
for days afterwards."
Susan,
25, a hairdresser, said: "When David tried to
start his car, the battery was drained." She
added: "I saw the two things with my own eyes.
It was an incredible experience."
One
UFO was also spotted five miles away by salesgirl Lyn
Brookes. 24. of Wokingham, Berkshire.
She
said: "It hovered in one spot for about five minutes."
"I
was really frightened. It was as if it was watching me."
Now
David has sketched the strange craft and is sending his
drawing to the Ministry of Defence who are to investigate.
UFO
expert Omar Fowler, 54. has also seen the drawing and
said: "I have no doubt this report is genuine."
Heathrow
Airport say none of the strange craft could have been
planes.
UFO-watchers
believe the area is a target for flying saucers.
