The Encounter

Alan Whithead, a former drummer, experienced a UAP sighting while driving with bandmates in November 1978. They were on the A1 road near Cambridge when Alan noticed a bright light moving erratically. He woke his bandmates to observe it. The light suddenly approached and hovered silently above them, appearing as a large luminous disc. They watched it for about a minute before it shot away at high speed, leaving a green and orange discharge. The encounter left a lasting impression on Alan, who felt excited but also puzzled. He later tried to report the sighting but received little interest from the press. The memory remains vivid for him, and he has not seen anything like it since.
