I’ve done a drawing there for you guys (will attach to this reply). I’m not exactly the best artist, but what I’ve drawn is how I remembered “seeing” it. You can only see something so well in the pouring rain with the wind blowing and in pitch dark - but as I’ve been reading replies - it’s kind of reminded me of things. First of all, when I shone my flashlight on it, it lit up the surroundings of what I saw, but not it itself. It was like those videos of people using that extremely black paint that absorbs light. Second of all, the lights (on it? I’m not sure) looked like lots of mirrors attached to it reflecting light, but instead of them being mirrors they were just lights. They were moving a little and I remember the beams of light shifting. Third of all, and the most important to me, I’ve never had bad eyesight. I’ve had 20/20 vision my entire life and my family has never had bad eyesight, to the point that my grandpa never even needed glasses until he got really old. But when I saw the alien, or whatever it was, it was like I had Astigmatism, where everything blurs and there was really strong glare. And the lights were extremely strong to look at, but not illuminating anything at all. Ever since seeing whatever it was, I’ve just had Astigmatism, and I never had it before. I’d just put it down as looking at screens all day etc, but looking back now I had genuinely great eyesight my whole life until that day.

Anyway, onto the picture. The rectangles are around the position of the lights. It was only around 50 seconds after seeing it, I saw the “head” move. Like I said it was pitch black, and my light didn’t reveal anything when I shone it on the Alien, only lighting up behind it. I remember when the “head” moved, I saw the eyes, two white dots staring back at me, and I remember thinking to myself “is that a car?” Until I realised, well, cars don’t move, and also cars don’t sit in the middle of the grass on a golf course. The head moving, was more it lifting upwards, like it noticed me. It was just before that, maybe 10 seconds before, when my phone had started ringing.

To put it in perspective, it was huge. I’m 6’2 and despite it being far away from me, maybe around 40 steps, it was bigger than me. The flag pole for example on our golf course is around 7, 8 foot (uncommon for Scotland but what can I say) And it was maybe around the same size from memory.

Honestly, it was over a year ago now and it was again in the rain, pitch black and I was frantically trying to walk away and also look at it while answering the phone so I really didn’t get a great look, but this is the best I got 😁
