‘I was driving with my wife and two kids in the car. A thing that I presumed was a autumn sycamore type leaf ‘flew’ across the road stopped in front of the windscreen it was then it put up its hands crossed in front of its face which looked panic stricken. I never heard or felt an impact so don’t know what happened to it. It was all the same colour, an orangy pink. The wings were in two parts like a butterfly and it was naked, skinny and looked male, although I didn’t see any genitalia. The top of the head looked elongated and flat across the top. It all happened in a split second. I haven’t told anyone. Nobody in the car was paying attention. We had been out for a long drive. They were all chilling, listening to various tech devices. It wasn’t an autumn leaf. It was in the middle of the summer. And leaves don’t have bodies and faces and arms and expressions etc. It was north of *** by the *** turn off flying east to west. I was driving south.’ ‘I have seen a ‘skeleton’ of a fairy on the internet. It looks fake but it is the closest I have seen. Never believed in them. Still don’t really. It was weird.’ ‘It looked like a very wee human with wings.’ ‘I feel quite guilty about it. Hope it was ok.’
