The Encounter
The experiencer was a police officer driving a patrol vehicle in a remote area of Yorkshire in 1978. He saw a large, disc-shaped flying object about 100 feet in diameter. The craft had a dome on top, colored lights on the underside, and appeared to have portals. It moved slowly, making no sound, and caused heavy static on the police radio. The officer and his colleague got out of the car to observe it. The object eventually moved away and landed in a nearby forest. After the encounter, the officer felt a strong desire to understand what he saw, as it seemed far more advanced than any technology he had encountered during his time in the RAF.
