UFO?
A couple of years ago I was going down to my mates house. Being that it was the first time I had been there he told me that he would meet me at the train station which was a short distance from his place, this was a great plan as it would mean that we would get the beer on the way down and not have anything disturbing our night of drunken PS2 playing, other than the pizza turning up!

At this point I’ll just say that it was a nice and warm early autumn evening.

So we had just turned into the road leading to his place when we see a bright flash in the sky. At first I thought that it was a plane, but the longer we watched it the less it looked like one.

It was sort of round and silvery and appeared to be moving very slowly. Now I’m starting to think that it some kind of radio controlled helicopter or some such but my mate pointed out that it was above trees that were about a mile passed his house. The thing must have been fecking huge.

As we got closer we could see what looked like two wheels attached to either side on the bottom. It wandered about for a bit and then vanished. To this day we still have no idea what it was!

did it look like
this? Or something like it? If it was over Oxford way, that's where they are based and there are a few companies working on similar things. The odd thing is that, being quite reflective, they can actually get out of sight or become hard to define quite easily.

I still want one of these as my flying lair...When I'm rich, I'll have a nice house in the country and one of these - forget a yacht or a helicopter - this flies anywhere, can land on water or land and can carry your ferrari, your jetskis and your harem and army of trained ninjas...give me a castle on a Scottish loch and I'll rule the world, I tell ya!

So...
...it looked like a toy helicopter, but was too big. Maybe...a...real helicoptor? :O

Sunlight shining off it could make it look bigger than it actually was.

@Chad
It didn't look exactly like that, but it could have been some kind of blimp.

They look way cool, I'd love one for a base as well. World domination would be totally in my grasp.

@Musuko
Yeah it could have been. I'm not one of those people who immediatly think of aliens when I see something I don't recognise. I just don't kno what it was.
