The Encounter

The experiencer is a paranormal investigator who had two UAP encounters. The first occurred in 2008 while he was outside during a radio show in Portsmouth. He saw five high-speed blue lights in the sky that split apart as they passed overhead. He found it difficult to discuss this sighting with Nick Pope, whom he was about to interview. The second encounter happened around 2010 or 2011 while he was in his garden at night. He observed a white ball of light hovering and shimmering for about five minutes before it zipped away quickly. The experiencer remains intrigued by these sightings and still seeks explanations, but he has not experienced any lasting impact from these encounters.
