In the past myself and another person saw a large craft a quarter of a mile away (Night time sighting) It was reported to me by this person (they saw it before I did) they said it started as a star getting closer and closer and that " All the dogs are barking". We both then witnessed a triangle, it was big.
The funny thing is, is at the time of our joint sighting I couldn't hear a single animal? I think they knew?
I witnessed a orange B.O.L. fly up my road in 97. I was with the British U.F.O. Research Association at the time and completed an investigation into the sighting, it's in 'New Members' (Hello Everyone from Mac 5 In The U.K.)
I will post another clip below to do with B.O.L. ; I hope it helps a little, to be honest most of us are in the same boat!
Best wishes to you, just know you are not alone with this; most people on this site have seen or experienced something.
All the best, Mac 5.
