And along the road, there is this massive object that you can't see the bottom of it because it's so close to the ground and it's spinning on its side. So if you imagine like a Ferris wheel at a carnival, it was like that, but tilted at a really acute angle and spinning incredibly fast.

Yeah. Imagine a ferris wheel at a carnival, but spinning at the kind of rate a washing machine would. So if it was indeed a ferris wheel and a carnival that we never knew was happening on our doorstep, everyone on that ferris wheel would have been dead at the speed they were being thrown off of this object or at least being spun around. So it's huge.

And you can't make out a structure because of the lights. All you can kind of make out are spinning lights going round. No camera phones. It's the mid-90s, you know, unless you're carrying a massive camcorder on your shoulder. You weren't filming anything in public. And we saw this thing for a couple of minutes. And I remember we're about half a mile away from it.

People would have been driving past it. So there's a whole other conversation we'll maybe get to another time about, did we see it because of where we were? And were there folks much closer to it who couldn't see it? But remember, we saw it, didn't report it to anyone. We don't phone the police. You know, there was no one to report it to.

So there's every chance other folks saw this object and just never said anything about it either.

Just the five of us, but we went one way, the object was another way. And really interestingly, the people that were with me, obviously mostly being family, they can't quite describe exactly what they saw. They just remember seeing something. I've probably got a more detailed recollection, despite it still being vague, of what I actually saw. I've asked my mum, for example, recently.

She's got no interest in UFOs, thinks it's ridiculous. She can't even recall exactly what the object looked like, just that there was something there.

I think that's a really interesting conversation to get into about, you know, what is a UFO? Like the age old question, do you believe in UFOs? It's not really a question because there are things unidentified in the sky that people see. But as to what they are now, that's the real question.

Yeah, I've always had an interest, always fascinated with the UFO subject. And we'll get into it. But in 2017, that kind of came back for a lot of folks in a big way. And that probably had a big impact in me trying to get involved back in the subject. So there's so many different people with so many passions involved in UFOs. And that, I suppose, draws me into it as well.

Elle, you're coming at this from a completely different angle, aren't you? And am I right in thinking that you've also been purposely avoiding the topic of UFOs?
