OK, as requested by
@escargot on another thread, a couple of minor UFO sightings I've had and never posted here, because they were far too inconclusive, and quite possibly had mundane explanations.
The first happened around 1990, when I was living in Farnham, Surrey. I was standing on West Street in the town centre, outside the post office, chatting to a friend late one morning, and looking towards the Downing Street junction when I noticed a classic saucer shape hovering above the buildings on the corner. It wasn't huge, about 2-3 degrees across, hard to pin down the distance, but I thought it was over the buildings on the corner, so about 50m off. If I was pressed to estimate a size, I would say somewhere between 1-3 metres across. This was all a very long time ago, so all estimates could be way off. I looked at it fixedly because I had never seen a satellite dish or anything similar on those buildings and couldn't understand what I was looking at. After a while, I commented to my friend "What
is that?" and pointed it out to him, he looked at it and saw it but displayed little interest, saying rather mockingly, "Maybe it is a UFO." and returned to the normal conversation. Next time I was back on West Street, I looked at the buildings from the same angle and there was nothing there. No idea what it was I saw, this was 1990, so drones weren't a thing. It was completely stationary and didn't look like a balloon - but it could have been! Just one of those things, minor weirdness, probably not aliens!
The second was rather more recent, in fact I made a note at the time, so it was 6 October 2021 - mid pandemic although I can't remember what the lockdown status was at the time. It was early evening and I was walking towards the local supermarket via the service drive when I saw a bright red light approaching fast below the cloud cover. It grabbed my attention because of the intensity of the colour and the unusual depth-of-field - it felt more 3D than real 3D, hard to explain. I would estimate that it was small and low, coming over a nearby hill. I decided to stand and watch it in order to better identify it. Since I was standing in the middle of the service drive, I glanced away for a split second to make sure I was not about to be mowed down by a supermarket lorry - when I looked back it was gone. My home town is under the flight paths for Heathrow and Gatwick, so there are always lots of planes in the sky, but this wasn't a plane (no flashing lights, no visible fuselage). It could have been a drone. I found the colour, my precise awareness of where it was in 3D space, and its disappearance the moment I looked away for less than a second, all very odd. But again, possibly mundane.
