FT255 / FT256


On 4 September 2009, FT received a report from a witness in the Forest of Dean. He described how, while near Parkend, Gloucestershire, at 10.10 that night, he saw two orange, glowing lights drift across the sky and was able to snatch some brief footage with his HD video camera.

The case found its way to me and I was ready for it – because it represented perhaps the 50th such episode that I had logged in 2009.

Never in the field of ufology has the flow of sighting reports become so stereotypical. It’s been getting to the point where I feel I can finish an account for a witness after just a few seconds of their recollections, knowing all too well what they are about to tell me.
