Occurred: 2002-08-12 17:50 Local
Reported: 2002-08-13 13:20 Pacific
Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 0

Location: Coventry (UK/England), , United Kingdom

Shape: Other

The "craft" I sighted was powered and it moved as though under precise guidance at an estimated speed of well over a 1,000 mph.

Lying on my sun lounger in back yard. Looked up and saw a shape. First of all I thought it was seedpod or something floating on the breeze 10 to 15 feet up but on focussing properly I realised it was at least as high as any passenger planes 30 to 40,000 feet up. It was a silver "craft" comparitive in size to an airliner consisting of three equal arms around a small centre. It rotated every 2-3 seconds while travelling at speed 3 to 4 times that of airliners ( I live below a busy flightpath in central England)I leapt out of my sun lounger and watched the object disappear out of view after about another 7 seconds. I am a natural sceptic and I'm also very interested in 'real' science and I have neither seen or heard of anything like the thing I saw but I know what I saw. I was at once fascinated, amazed and excited. It was real.

I kept quiet about it until today even scanning my local newspaper for any report of the sighting but there was nothing. It wasn't a cloud formation because it was a beautiful clear day. It wasn't a fancy weather ballon or a child's kite it was powered and it was guided. I do hope somebody else saw it too but I am not afraid to tell of my sighting. I am absolutely confident that I saw something remarkable.
