CSIGHTING DETAILS
What did the UFO look like, shape/size in relation to terrestrial objects/lights/colour:
IT LOOKED LIKE AN AIRSHIP,CIGAR SHAPED AND SEEMED TO BE A GREY\SILVER COLOUR. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT, THERE WERE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS LIKE AN AEROPLANE BUT AS IT GOT TO ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY THE LIGHTS FADED TO NOTHING. IT WAS ABOUT 300 TO 400 FEET HIGH AND FLEW AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS A MICRO-LIGHT 30 TO 40 MPH BUT MADE NO SOUND WHATSOEVER.
Did the UFO do any strange things like hover and then zoom off quickly:
IT DROPPED FROM AN ALTITUDE OF THAT OF AN AEROPLANE THAT HAD TAKEN OFF FROM EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT WHICH IS WHY I NOTICED IT, IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO COLIDE WITH THE PLANE, THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF A NEAR MISS HAD BEEN REPORTED BY THE PILOT?.
Any additional comments:
AS THE CRAFT PASSED ME IT SEEMED TO FOLLOW THE A52 TOWARDS DERBY CITY CENTRE. THE FOLLOWING WEEK OUR LOCAL FREE PAPER PRINTED THE SIGHTING AND IT HAD BEEN WITNESSED BY 45 PEOPLE! NOT INCLUDING MYSELF OR MANY OTHERS I DON`T DOUBT.
