Datos iniciales
Lamento que el incidente haya ocurrido hace tanto tiempo que no puedo dar una fecha exacta. Mi experiencia ocurrió en 1977 o 1978, cuando tenía 15 o 16 años. Yo era el único testigo.
En ese momento, era miembro de la sociedad astronómica local y estaba a cargo de coordinar las observaciones de meteoros. En aquel entonces, la astronomía era un pasatiempo serio para mí, y estaba acostumbrado a observar el cielo y poder detectar objetos normales en el cielo, como estrellas, meteoros, planetas, satélites y aviones. Era tarde, tal vez más allá de la medianoche; a menudo observaba meteoritos temprano en la mañana. Observé un meteorito, solo, acostado en una cama plegable en el balcón frente a mi casa en Slough, Berkshire , Reino Unido.
De repente, hubo un fenómeno sorprendente en el cielo que nunca había visto antes y que nunca había visto desde entonces. Definitivamente no fue un fenómeno astronómico o cualquier descripción que conozco de una nave humana.
El objeto (s) cruzó rápidamente mi campo de visión, en un segundo o incluso medio segundo, por lo que se movió a una velocidad increíblemente alta. Consistía en dos discos de luz. Se movían tan rápido que era difícil discernir si eran discos claramente delineados o si los bordes estaban borrosos, pero mi memoria recuerda mi percepción de que eran bastante borrosos. Aunque los discos tenían aproximadamente un tercio o la mitad del diámetro de la Luna, no eran particularmente brillantes, ciertamente no tan brillantes como la Luna, pero tampoco eran particularmente tenues.
Lo extraño de ellos es que parecían estar conectados de alguna manera, ya que los dos discos parecían balancearse o girar alrededor del eje central a medida que cruzaban rápidamente el cielo, de modo que los discos durante este proceso de balanceo se movían alternativamente más separados. más adelante que el otro.
Estaban separados por una distancia, tal vez cuatro o cinco veces el diámetro de la Luna. Las luces eran blancas y no las veía de color. No dejaron rastro, y la trayectoria estaba prácticamente sobre mi cabeza, y cruzaron todo mi campo de visión hasta que se ocultó detrás de las casas a mi izquierda: me acosté en una cama plegable y miré perpendicular al cielo.
Era una noche clara y sin nubes. No hubo sonido acompañante. No noté nada en el objeto, excepto estas luces, y en ese momento asumí que eran dos objetos separados que volaban juntos en formación, pero me preguntaba por qué parecían balancearse de un lado a otro alrededor del eje común. Sin embargo, últimamente me he preguntado si ambos estaban realmente Unidos a la base de un barco oscuro más grande,
Compartí esta información con mis padres y escribí un informe que contenía la mayoría de los detalles anteriores, aunque no puedo recordar después de todo este tiempo lo que estaba haciendo con el informe: si lo archivé en algún lugar, lo cual creo que es poco probable, ya que Internet aún no estaba disponible y no sabría dónde enviarlo, o, más probablemente, si lo guardé en casa y lo perdí a lo largo de los años.
Al observar este evento, era muy escéptico sobre el tema de los Ovnis: sabía lo suficiente sobre la relatividad como para creer que otras estrellas están demasiado lejos para que las visitas extraterrestres sean posibles, dado el límite de velocidad de la luz. Simplemente me vi obligado a renunciar a mi escepticismo por lo que vi con mis propios ojos. Como se mencionó anteriormente, también estaba acostumbrado a las observaciones astronómicas y podía identificar fácilmente un objeto muy inusual pero natural, como un meteoro o un satélite que reingresaba a la atmósfera.
Busqué en Internet para ver si alguien había visto algo similar a mi oscilante OVNI de dos discos, pero sin éxito. Me interesaría mucho saber si alguna vez ha recibido un informe que describe algo como esto.

I regret that the incident happened so long ago that I am unable to give a precise date. My experience happened in 1977 or 1978, when I was 15 or 16 years old. I was the only witness. At the time, I was a member of my local astronomical society, with responsibility for coordinating meteor observation. Astronomy was a serious hobby for me then, and I was used to observing the skies and being able to identify the normal kind of objects in the heavens, e.g. stars, meteors, planets, satellites, and planes. It was late, possibly past midnight – I often did meteor watches through the early hours. I was doing a meteor watch, alone, and lying on a camp bed out on the balcony in front of my house in Slough, Berkshire, UK. Suddenly there was an astonishing phenomenon in the sky of a kind I had never seen before, and have never seen since. It was definitely not an astronomical phenomenon or any description of human vehicle I know of.
The object(s) crossed my field of vision rapidly, within a second or maybe even half a second, so it was moving at incredibly high speed. It consisted of two discs of light. They moved so rapidly that it was difficult to distinguish whether they were clearly defined discs or whether the edges were diffuse, but my memory recalls my perception as being that they were fairly diffuse. Although the discs were about a third or half the diameter of the moon, they were not particularly bright – certainly not as bright as the moon – but not particularly dull, either. The strange thing about them is that they seemed to be connected in some way, as the two discs seemed to be rocking or pivoting about a central axis as they rapidly crossed the skies, so that the discs would during this rocking process be alternately one further in front than the other. The angle of the rocking from the perpendicular was possibly between 30 and 45 degrees, and during the transit, the discs probably repeated this backwards and forwards rocking motion twice.
They were separated by a distance of perhaps four or five times the diameter of the moon. The lights were white, and I saw no color in them. They left no trail, and the trajectory was practically overhead, and they crossed the whole of my field of vision, until it was obscured by the houses on my left-hand side: I was lying on the camp bed facing perpendicularly into the skies. It was a clear, cloudless night. There was no accompanying sound. I did not perceive anything in the object other than these lights, and at the time assumed that these were two separate objects that happened to be flying together in a formation, but was puzzled as to why they seemed to be rocking backwards and forwards about a common axis. However, in more recent years I have wondered whether they! were both fixed to the base of a larger, dark craft, whose base was undergoing this rocking motion for some reason: although I was not able to distinguish any craft to which the lights were joined, because of its speed, and the state of utter shock and anxiety I was in when I saw the phenomenon, it could just be the case that I did not notice it.
I shared this information with my parents, and I wrote a report containing much of the detail above, though I cannot remember after all this time what I did with the report: whether I lodged it anywhere – which I think is unlikely, as the Internet wasn’t yet available then, and I wouldn’t have known where to send it – or more likely, whether I filed it somewhere at home and have lost it in the course of the years.
At the time of witnessing this event, I was very much a skeptic with regard to the question of UFOs: I knew enough about relativity to believe that other stars were too far away for extraterrestrial visits to be possible, given the velocity limit of the speed of light. I was simply forced to abandon my skepticism by what I saw with my own eyes. As mentioned above, I was also used to astronomical observations, and could easily have identified a very unusual but natural object, such as a fireball, or a satellite re-entering the atmosphere. I have scoured the Internet to find out whether anyone has seen anything at all similar to my rocking twin-disc UFO, but have been unsuccessful. I would be extremely interested to know whether you have ever received a report describing anything similar.
