I think it is only best that i explain the full situation before anything. My name is Florence, i was born the same year as the ending of the 2nd world war, so maybe i bring good luck, i hope.

Anyway with my parents being christian, and shrugging anything paranormal related to simply be satan playing tricks, i didnt grow up with a big imagination or watching sci fi, or anything to make my brain automatically think that anything and everything is paranormal related.

About 20 years ago, i was sitting with my youngest daughter, Robin, in the garden (we live in a area next to the Northamptonshire countryside. It was a hot summer night, and we were talking, when Robin pointed out a strange looking object in the sky.
I thought it was a plane and continued talking, and thought nothing of it. Suddenly the object started flashing, and as it got closer it looked the size of a large helicopter.
I assumed (as the army sometimes train within a few miles of here and we can sometimes hear their helicopters or firing ranges), that it may be an army exercise, however, suddenly the object picked up speed, and i mean from hovering to about 100 miles an hour, within a second. It moved north very very quickly, then within a flash, stopped and turned west and within 2 seconds was out of sight. There is no plane or helicopter that can do that, well there certainly weren't 20 years ago, and at that stopping and starting speed it would have killed a pilot or sent a pilot flying out of his chair.

The sightings became frequent, and when one September morning, i saw another one actually dissapear (not fade into the darkness but literally disapear,) i knew right then there was not normal planes.
A few years ago the sightings stopped, and even though i follow with interest the ufo phenomena, i haven't seen any in the sky for at least two years.

Last week, i was in a forest nearby, going for a walk with a work friend of mine. We usually walk through a clearing where there are less trees, nettles etc, but on this occasion we chose to go the longer way. It looked to have been cleared up, and there were no nettles. We decided as it was a change of scenery, to have our lunch there. We sat on a tree trunk, and as i was eating, i felt something hard, under my foot, almost like a tree stub or root, but much thicker, and definatly physical not a plant.
My friend used his stick to dig away some of the mud, and we saw what looked like a antenna, but like nothing i had ever seen before. It was long, and metalic, and it was definatly attached to something.

Please bear in mind, that as this point, it never crossed our mind nor were we hoping for it to be something ufo related. We were very excited about the find, because we both have a very big interest in architecture, and contributed towards many digs in the surrounding area, where we recovered roman pottery and coins. So, we decided to come back the next day with spades, and see what we could find. We also brought with a couple more close friends to give an extra hand.

The next day, within 20 minutes of digging, we uncovered the antenna part, it had weird writing on it, similar but not identical to ancient Aramaic texts. Sure enough, it was attached to what looks like a tank turret, but clearly not a tank turret, it was like a port hole or opening, to a vehicle underneath.
We borrowed a radar scanning device (i am not very technical), but we got somebody to do it, and the shape resembled that of a cylinder, very large around 40 foot long and 20 foot wide

After being advised not to speak to newspapers about this, we are going to continue and dig this thing up. The only slight issue is the weather, one minute it is very warm, the next moment it is pouring down (aka the weather today). We did no digging today, as the area was soaked about miday, but tomorrow looks like clear weather.

Whilst i am not ready to declare it an alien ship or jump to that conclusion, i can confirm there are no `made in....` markings or anything on what we have uncovered so far. There would be that if it was simply a disused army vehicle. Also the antenna is made of a strange black metallic metal, which does not seem to wear or tear or break even despite the fact that our shovels must have hit it several times.

What i do find interesting is that the forest clearing location is less than a couple of minutes, from where i saw my first ufo many years ago
