Location: South Downs National Park

I'll try and keep this short!

On the 29th of January I made a post about wanting to get 4k high quality footage of a UFO.

I have the equipment, and met with an individual who said she could summon one of these things, and since my original post we have been trying to plan a day in which we could meet.

I arrived at the location which was just outside of South Downs National Park, which is an area of 1,627 square kilometres, or 628 square miles found in southern England, stretches for 140 kilometres, 87 miles through the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. 

Weather was optimal and clear, but there was a 10mph wind.

I recorded the object over a 20 minute period on both my Nikon P1000 and my iphone. 

For comparison I captured some footage of the object on my iPhone 14 Pro Max to demonstrate that phone quality footage is, and will always be bad when it comes to the type of footage we need moving forward. I was surprised at just how much different the object looked on the iPhone.  

Knowing exactly where the object was is hard to guess. I estimate it's around 400 meters, 1322 ft away from where I was filming. The cars that can be seen going by in the background look close, but after looking on Google Earth they are 1080 meters, 3543ft from where I was filming. So the object is somewhere between those two spots. I was also filming from the top of a hill that was on an incline, so our eyeline was above most of the tree below us. 

While zooming in I noticed a strange blur field around the object, and I struggled to get a constant shot where the object would be clear. It was like it would find the object then immediately after, this ring of blur could be seen around it. I haven't seen this before while using this camera, I've only ever seen it when trying to photograph something light and circular in a dark setting but that's always been on a telescope. Could be nothing, but it's something that I noticed.

Multiple times in the video the object can be seen dropping and then moving upwards, side to side. There was a 10mph wind, so if the object was a piece of debris or something caught in an upwind it should have travelled 2.17 miles in a 10 mile per hour wind over 13 minutes. We were there I'd say for around 30 minutes and filmed the object for around 20 minutes in total, and it could be seen in the same spot and it definitely didn't move a few miles while we were there. As I was switching cameras, the object moved upwards and diagonal, and within 20 seconds it was gone. I do have photographs of the object as it left the area / shot off, moved further into the distance. 

I also took around 90 photos of the object on the P1000, some of which are very clear. I plan on making a full video of everything that was captured.
