§6

‘I moved to a new studio in February 2014. It was in the same mill building as my previous studio but the room was much bigger and had a fantastic view. The view of the woods was beautiful, I often camped in them woods and had had some great times, so looking out over the area brought back happy memories. I first noticed what looked like a twinkling on the top of some trees. At first I assumed it must be a foil blanket or bag caught in tree, and watched, appreciating how pretty it looked dancing in the wind and creating illusions of many flickering lights. I continued to notice this twinkling almost daily and one day as I watched carefully, I noticed it move, very quickly. It was then that I started to ask questions about what I had assumed to be a foil bag caught in a tree. First: why had one foil item turned into several? Second: why where they still there after several months of wind and rain? And third: why were they moving from one tree to another? I decided now that maybe it wasn’t rubbish caught on top of the trees and I should perhaps pay closer attention. I took to using binoculars to get a closer look, I thought that maybe they were birds, but they weren’t. They were lights. I discovered that the lights seem to glow brighter and duller, as though they turn around in the sunlight and are shinier on one side than the other. They also change shape, size and colour, sometimes they can appear multi-coloured all at once. They seem to like the sun very much and appear to lie on top of the trees soaking up the sun. They are highly active on sunny days more than dull days – almost like they get energy from the sun. They normally start to appear at about 11 am and grow brighter and much busier over midday, and finally slow down at about 3 pm. On one very hot summer day, there were quite a number of them on top of, and in the trees, all of different colours. Some shot off very fast up through the trees, these were small white lights, I followed them and they disappeared. The colours often start as bright white and silver, and I note that they appear to be a more silver appearance on a less sunny day. The most activity I have seen was on a very bright sunny day when the whole area of trees seemed to glow as though there were a lot of lights in that area of the woods. The light seemed to pulsate, growing brighter and growing dimmer again. I watched closely and saw the light changing colour. There were several different colours, blue, red and orange and they all seemed to blend together. The red was seeping out on top of the trees and seemed to be a shape that kept changing. I tried to film the lights the next day but only caught a short clip of white glowing, pulsating in the trees. I have been to the area many times looking for an explanation. There is no obvious explanation, no roads, buildings, power lines etc.’ ‘I’m not sure that my experience was a fairie experience or not. I was sent the link after enquiring about some strange lights that I had seen in local woods. I would be happy to hear from you with any information, links or other areas of study or surveys regarding my experience.’
