| While sailing of the Dorset coast on a NE course towards Portland Bill, I saw a light in the sky that I can't explaine The object was a dot of light, similar to a star or a satelight, but could not have been either. Stars do not move arround as this did and, satelights hold a steady course. Ionly noticed this point of light becauseits behaviour was very unusual. It was able to move at great speed from a standing start and then stop abruptly. No speeding up or slowing down. It did this aeveral times, in random directions over both land and sea .There was one other witness,awoman I am no longer in contact with Ithin she was a primary school teacher from New Zealand.She hadn't been on a yacht at sea befor she was helping me on my watch,I was telling her about stars and satelights to calm her nerves,which was how we came to notice it. I am not sure of the duration of time we could see it because a fleet of trawlers arrived and I had to consentrate on sailing by them. when I looked afterwards it was gone The boats name was((name of boat deleted)) she was registered in London,I wrote the sighting down in the log book. No one Ihave asked has any suggestions what it could have been . I have not seen another UFO before or since. |
