The Portsmouth Fleet Sighting
Anthony Woods and his wife reported watching hundreds of sphere-like objects cross the daytime sky over Portsmouth for close to six hours, at times forming a cross. Woods describes further episodes across several years, from 1999 into the 2000s. This is the record of what was reported, not a verdict on what was above the city.
◆ THE SHORT VERSION
- The Portsmouth Fleet Sighting is a reported UAP case in Bedhampton, Havant, Hampshire, UK, 27 March (year ~2003).
- Anthony Woods and his wife said hundreds of sphere-like objects crossed the daytime sky over Portsmouth for close to six hours, at points arranging themselves into formations including a cross.
- In another episode from the same Portsmouth-area witness, Anthony Woods described four round spheres hanging together above a roof at about 10.30pm, one of which swelled very large as if exploding.
- Woods also described a large black object with dome-shaped lights that flashed on and off and changed colour as if signalling, later modelled in 3D by Andrew Fry as an asymmetric craft.
- For this case Fractured Realities holds 1 distinct source and 2 distinct claimants on its resolved list.
- The archive grades it L3 · MULTI-SOURCE — multiple independent sources attest to it.
- The nearest nuclear-weapons site is 60.2 km away, which the archive records without inferring a link.
