The Encounter

John Tickner is a retired police officer who worked in the air support unit of Sussex Police. In August 2000, while on a night shift over Brighton, he and his crew encountered a strange light in the sky. The paramedic on board first spotted the light, which did not resemble typical aircraft lights. John used a thermal imaging camera to track the object, which appeared as a cylinder without identifiable features. The crew attempted to communicate with the object but received no response. After about four minutes, they concluded that it was likely a man-made balloon. The encounter left John puzzled, and he expressed a desire to understand the unusual event better, but he did not report any lasting impact on his worldview.

It was a cylinder; it's difficult to say how big it was; we didn't know what it was.
