I have known Chris Loughlin for a number of years after meeting him at a music festival. In early March 2021 he revealed details of a UFO sighting he had experienced back in 1999 on our Facebook community page BUFOG Truthseekers. After speaking with him directly it transpired that he has in fact been witness to three separate incidents. This report documents these incidents in depth.


Triangular Light


Chris believes his earliest sighting occurred around 1999 when he lived on Hollyhook Close in Crowthorne, Berkshire. It was summer time and he had just finished secondary school. He would often relax and chat with his friends sitting on top of some bushes which lay alongside the public footpath which runs between Hollyhook Close and Eagle Close.

Late on one of the summer’s evenings Chris met two of his friends Gavin and Tim there. It was between 10.30-11pm and the sun had fully set. It was a really clear and still night, with the stars and moon fully visible. They were only wearing T-shirts, but it was still quite warm even after dark.

Gavin suddenly remarked “What’s that?” staring at something above them. Looking up, Chris was puzzled to see three red glowing lines in a triangular shape. In between and around the lines he could make out a dark gun metal coloured surface. It was clear that this was a triangular shaped light in the base of a larger object obscured from view by the darkness overhead


The light was completely stationary. It was hard to estimate it's height accurately but it was at least several hundred feet up. There was no sound coming from it whatsoever. After about a second the light instantly changed to a bright yellow colour. A second later it changed to green. A second after this it went back to red. It continued this cycle repeatedly with no variation in timing.
