Diane Granville Mathews was driving along Warminster and bath road when she saw an orange disc, perfectly round from the start (but oval when it crossed the vehicle's path). 

It came from a hedge to her left and descended to road level, no more than 12 yards (10.8 m) from her car, then rose and flew over another hedge and out of sight.

Stunned, she didn't stop to investigate and continued on her way. 

As her dazzled vision adjusted to the shape of the road again, a few hundred yards ahead, she saw a tall, white-robed figure walking toward her along the far side of the road. His legs were Bouncing, and she didn't notice much in his complexion. But he was a giant. 

She stepped hard on the gas and saw a tall figure striding through deep pools of water by the roadside. 

Scared, she went home. 

Around 5: 00, she was awakened, as if in a dream, by a sharp knock on the door. She heard a clear, gentle, insistent voice. She got up and opened the front door, but there was no one there.

Original news

Location. Near Norridge Common, England
Date: March 7 1972
Time: 0230A
Summary: Diana Granville Matthews was driving along the Warminster/Bath Road when she saw an orange disc, perfectly circular to begin with but ovular when crossing the path of the vehicle. It came from a hedgerow to her left and sailed down to road level, no more than 12 yards in front of her car, before lifting and careering over another hedgerow and out of sight. Bemused, she did not stop to investigate and continued on. No sooner had her dazzled vision grown accustomed to the road outlines again, a few hundred yards ahead she saw, walking towards her, on the far side of the road, a tall male figure in all white clothing. His legs loped along and she noted little about his face coloring. But he was of giant stature. She pressed hard on the accelerator and saw the tall figure striding along through deep pools of water at the roadside. Scared she drove home. Around 0500A she was awakened, as though from a dream, by a sharp rapping on her front door. She heard a voice clearly calling, gently and insistently. She got up, opened the front door but saw no one there.
