Picture the scene...
16 years old and first mate passes his test and gets a small car... oh the freedom - chuck him a quid each and away we can be for nigh on days...

So there we were, summer sun high in the blue sky with a pocket full of weed and a summer of high jinks ahead of us.

Living in a rural ish area may sound fabulous for finding a field and just bumming about - but unfortuantly most farmers hate long haired pot smokers so the choice was few and far between. But once we'd found this one patch it was ours for the summer.

3pm rolls along and we all gather to sit on our hill - ambling along we find our patch. Sitting down far across to the right side horizon I spot a small black object traveling in our direction - being blind as a bat to me this looked like a bird - but as I said days were long and we were in no rush to do anything, so sat there staring at it I did.

This object serenley gets closer and closer, the 4 lads with me all spot it.

Watching in absolute amazement we watch as this deeply deeply strange black object comes floating past - on a set trajectory, about 300 foot in the air across and above us.

Now, the only way to describe this object was complete black, no shading, and very 2 dimensional - the only thing I could say it looked like would be a black bin bag... but this was well within the rustling noise range, the wrong size, and moving on a set course...

we watched as it moved on by over some trees and off to the other horizon... and at this point it should be noted we hadn't smoked anything!!!
