A very strange thing happened on Wednesday night, probably around 1 am. I was fast asleep when Mrs S woke me up asking what that noise was, I was still half asleep and I could hear this sort of throbbing, turbine type sound and I immediately was wondering what sort of appliance we had in the house that could make that sort of sound, I thought maybe it was the CH boiler about to explode, and then the missus asked is it an aeroplane or a helicopter. I could tell it certainly wasn't a helicopter, nor was it coming from inside the house, and I began to think it must be some sort of plane, then the sound moved away and faded, as indeed an aeroplane sound would. I went straight back to sleep and thought no more about it until last night when Mrs S again asked what I thought it was. I had totally forgotten about it, but when she asked all I could recall was my first thought that it was something inside the house and not an aeroplane. The strange thing is that we get loads of different planes over here, at differing heights, and I know the sound each one makes. So why did I not immediately identify this sound as an aircraft ? Simply because it didn't sound like any aircraft I'd ever heard before. So what was it, no idea, in which case I suppose it was a UFO. Not saying it was from outer space or anything, but I couldn't identify that sound, so how else to classify it ?
