‘Walking my dog through Sherwood Forest. I had stopped briefly as my dog snuffled in the undergrowth. As I looked up a small bright object about the size and shape of a dragonfly caught my eye about half a metre away just above head height. As I looked I realised it was flying upright and not horizontal as dragonflies do. It was a pure white light with a slight blue in the centre. I was briefly distracted by my dog and remember thinking ‘that’s a fairy’ in a matter of fact way. As this thought entered my head I looked back to the space with disbelief and it was still there. It then faded out as it gently flew backwards. The light that day was a overcast but bright autumn day.’
