Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was about 8 years old and I had gone to Horsham Sussex, UK for a school trip. I think the sighting happened about a day or so after arriving at the camp. Myself and my cousin took the beds nearest to the window in our room, and two other friends where on the far wall. One night we was all playing around at night like 8 year old boys do, giggling and farting and just joking when I could hear a rumbling noise, a bit like thunder outside.
I looked out the window across the field that was outside our room and I could see like a white mist approaching and I could also see in this order, red, blue and green lights spinning in an anti clockwise rotation. It was not coming towards us very fast, but then it was there. We could all see this craft that was no more than 20-25 meters away hovering outside.
The craft itself was bathed in a ghostly misty light, then the rotating lights went out and it was like the craft had a rectangle middle section which was like smokey windows a black/brown colour and the top and bottom was like brushed aluminum. Now I'm 44 I can say it looked like a flying pill. Then 3 legs came down and then the under section of the craft opened in a kind of a jerky way, not what you would expect from some craft from an advanced civilization.
Next a long silver rod with all I can explain it had what looked like a huge ball bearing on the end of the rod. Next there was a very bright yellow white flash from the ball bearing to the floor outside, then the rod and ball went back into the craft and the flaps shut. I remember looking at the window and I could see movement behind the left hand side window.
It had like 4 or 5 sections of windows following the shape of the craft, then there was a whooshing noise like air escaping and the craft just vanished into thin air. With that we all started to scream and ran out of our room and ran down the hall and started to bang on the headmasters door, he opened the door very angry and we started to tell him what had happened.
He told us to go back to bed and stop making things up. Till this day and I'm 44 now, the whole thing still freaks me out as I now wonder what time it was that we woke up the head master and why no one else heard or saw this beautiful craft.
