2002 Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, UK - UFO Testimony by a Trained Military Pilot
"In the summer of 2002, I was invited to a party at a large house situated deep in the rural countryside on Salisbury plain in the south of England. The house was miles from any other property and was effectively in the middle of nowhere. We had driven miles and miles through rural back road farm land to get to the house. There was no street lighting for what felt like more than ten miles, although we had travelled to the house in the middle of the afternoon, arriving at the house in the early evening. This place was surrounded by farm land and fields, the nearest town was about ten or more miles away from the house, so there was no light pollution at all and as the evening grew dark, people started to group on the large patio at the back of the house where there was a BBQ. As I stood with others in conversation I looked up at the stars as it was a beautiful warm summers evening and a crystal clear night.
The sky was clear and full of stars it was like having a front row seat looking out at the cosmos. There was around one hundred plus people at the party many of which were outside on the patio enjoying the BBQ. As I stood in a group talking, I recall being keen to just stop chatting and simply gaze up at the un obscured night sky. I am a trained Pilot and Ex-RAF Commissioned Officer: I also flew in the Airline industry for a number of years as well as military flying. I have gained thousands of hours flying over the years.
As I looked up at
the clear
night sky and detected a small white light travelling at a
very high altitude
and at a speed
faster than any
commercial aircraft. I was familiar
with
what a
satellite looked like in
the sky and had seen a number of them before. I
knew that
they were seen as a single light in the sky but
they are
flying at a
constant speed and never turn in fact
they are easy to spot and quite different
to that I was
seeing so I knew it
was not a satellite:
My initial thoughts at the time was that it might have been a fast jet I considered that it could have possibly been a US military fast jet such as a stealth bomber: However, I quickly concluded that it was most definitely not a UK fast jet aircraft for reasons that may become apparent as I explain what happened next. I also concluded that it was not a USAF fast jet as well. I Began to track the single white light from my two o 'clock position as I tracked the craft, it looked like a single light from the tail of a commercial aircraft yet there were no navigation lights and no anti-collision beacons or strobe lights.
I continued to track the “Aircraft ” or craft across the night sky until it reached my eleven o clock position. Fascinated by what I was seeing, I mentioned it to the other people I was standing with on the patio, who all looked up, but due to their lack of aviation understanding were unable to appreciate what they were looking at, which was at that time effectively a single white light travelling at high altitude and great speed without any form of navigation lights on it whatsoever.
However, as the
craft reached
my 11 o'clock, I saw what looked to be a star in the sky
around an inch or so
below and an
inch further away from
the craft. I would have said it was
approximately around
five nautical
miles to the right of the path of the first
craft
which I had been tracking.
As the first craft approached the “star” like object, I was astonished to see the second light which had been relatively dim in the night sky as if it was a normal stationary starlight in the sky, (surprisingly and totally unexpectedly) suddenly burst into a massive bright white star-like light; this illuminated a relatively large area of sky around its own vicinity (at high altitude, which my aviation experience would suggest was in excess of 50,000 ft or FL500) before it powered away at a tremendous speed, with the acceleration well beyond any military aircraft I have ever seen in the nine years of military aviation experience, which includes some fast jet flying and a total of twenty two years of aviation experience in.
As the first craft I had been tracking from my 2'oclock, (which had been travelling from my right to left and was now at my 11 o'clock) approached upon the second statuary light which had just burst into the bright light and powered away at tremendous speed... the first craft I had been tracking had almost reached the second craft when the second craft burst in to life and shot away. Moments later, (as in around five second later) the first craft also erupted in to a bright burst of light which again illuminating a relatively large area of the night sky around the craft's own vicinity... and immediately accelerated away catching the second craft, which had been the first craft I had seen burst in to a ball of bright light and accelerate away from the approaching first craft. The first craft caught up with the other one, and together as if in formation, the two craft simply powered away in a climbing attitude and continued to accelerate upwards out of the earth’s atmosphere.
Only two of the
people I had
shown the craft to from the beginning had bothered to
watch it all happen as it
was all
extremely high up in the
night sky and people were
more interested
in eating
and
chatting.
After the event I
commented on what we had seen and I
was keen to discuss in much detail but without any
interest from other guests.
The
subject was dropped and
never discussed again; though for me the
experience
of what
I witnessed on Salisbury plain that night has never left me
and it is as if it had taken place yesterday and has been
a life-changing
experience which has
convinced me that we
are not alone and that we are being
visited by an
intelligence far
greater than ours.
I am totally
convinced that
what I saw
was piloted by an intelligent life
force."
Kind regards
