Welcome rob - I have to say that trying to explain a strange sighting to anyone who has never seen anything strange or doesn't have an open mind can
be a daunting experience even for someone not in the limelight.
People just assume you're a bit crackers if you speak about something that isn't mundane or is out of the ordinary.
I never really took much notice about what the papers said, until I saw them taking the mickey out of your desire to explore some of the stranger
things that happen - but then I was disgusted with them.
Back to the topic, I live in the far south west of the UK and have seen a couple of things that just defy explanation - cornwall has a bit of a rep
for strange occurrences, like UFO's and paranormal experiences

I've tried to rationalize what I've seen, and have only spoken about one experience, even here on ATS, although I also posted some photo's my
borther took.
The thing is, people are always quick to mock what they don't understand, and for that reason, I've kept my gob shut with all but the most open
minded of my friends.
I respect your coming here and sharing your experiences, and I hope you have a great time here.
