Initial data
Angus Brooks, a former officer in the administrative management of the flight of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), was walking his dogs in des Moines-downs (Dorset, England), October 26, 1967. At 11:25 and he decided to go into the recess on the hill to shelter from strong winds.
Almost immediately he saw what seemed to be a trace high in the sky. Then the trail disappeared, and in its place, a UFO descended with lightning speed to a height of 200 or 300 feet.
Form the ship to the alignment position of the hang-up had a Central circular chamber with a leading fuselage in the front and three separate fuselages at the rear, - said the former interpreter during the Second world war.
When slowing down to a position hovering two external rear fuselage has moved on "survivor," to form four fuselage in equidistant position around the Central chamber. ... When you reach a hovering ship turned 90 degrees clockwise and then remained motionless, not subject to strong wind.
For 22 minutes the strange object remained motionless in the sky. An Alsatian, who returned for prey, stood "distraught" beside the witness.
"The dog was standing there, and her ears were raised right, like she does when her ears heard sounds that she was worried," said Brooks.
The witness, who served in the middle East command of the Royal air force, said the UFO was made of a translucent material. Dark shadows were scattered along the bottom of the fuselage and of the Central chamber. Nasal bumps and ribs were visible along the base of the fuselage. The middle chamber was approximately 25 feet in diameter and 12 feet in height. Each fuselage had a length of about 75 feet, the height seven feet and a width of eight feet.
The UFO seemed to be hovering somewhere between nuclear station Winfrith and underwater defensive station Portland "about a mile from the mainland from the communications unit of the U.S. air force in the Bay Ringsted".
11:47 the ship flew to the East-northeast and disappeared.
Brooks said that during future visits to this area of his Alsatian dog looked nervous. The animal died of "acute cystitis" (a disorder of the urinary bladder) about six weeks.
The witness reported the incident to the Ministry of defence in London and received an official reply from L. W. Akhurst who investigated this observation.
"We have no doubt that the experience you described was very bright, and we have not lost sight of your long relationship with aviation," wrote Hurst. "However, we cannot agree with your conclusion that you saw a controlled flying machine unique design and characteristics".
Further the official of the Ministry outlined a theory that Brooks, who several years ago underwent a corneal transplant as the result of an eye injury, actually saw "a vitreous floater", i.e. a piece of matter (a dead cell) floating in the fluid of the eyeball. These "floats", said Akhurst, sometimes appear as rods or discs and can be more pronounced in case of cornea transplant.
"However, - added Akhurst it is unlikely that the float remained motionless for 22 minutes."
The representative of London also said that the recent hype around UFO and "float" could induce sleep while Brooks was resting in the recess of the hill.
Brooks responded that his eye doctor informed him that the description dvigai object is not similar to the movement of such entities and it is hardly the theory of Akhurst. Brooks said that corneal transplantation has greatly improved his vision.
"In its conclusion, added Brooks, - your fault, of course, that I was there at the time and any investigation Commission can only work on the accuracy of the details second-hand combined with technical, medical and scientific assistance, so, with reciprocal respect, your conclusions have not given me reason to change my opinion about UFOs in Maine downs".

Original news
The “Flying Cross” Case
Angus Brooks, a former flight administrative officer for British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), was walking his Dalmatian and Alsatian dogs at Moigne Downs, Dorset, England, on October 26, 1967. At 11:25 a.m., he decided to lie down in an indentation on a hill to shelter himself from the strong wind.
“Almost immediately” he saw what appeared to be a contrail high in the sky. Then the contrail disappeared and in its place, a UFO descended “at lightning speed” to 200 or 300 feet altitude.
“The shape of the ‘craft’ prior to leveling out to ‘hover’ position was of a central circular chamber with a leading fuselage in the front and three separate fuselages together at the rear,” the former World War II photographic interpreter stated. “On slowing to ‘hover’ position the two outer fuselages at the rear moved to position at [the] side of [the] ‘craft’ to form four fuselages at equidistant position around [the] center chamber. … On attaining ‘hover’ the ‘craft’ rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then remained motionless, unaffected by very strong wind.”
For 22 minutes the strange object remained motionless in the sky. The Alsatian, back from foraging for game, stood “distraught” beside the witness.
“The dog was standing hereband her ears were pricked straight up like she does when her ears heard sounds that she was worried about,” Brooks said.
The witness, who served with a Royal Air Force Middle East Command unit, said the UFO was made “of a translucent material.” Dark shadows were dotted along the bottoms of the fuselages and center chamber. Nose cones and “groove fins” were seen along the bases of the fuselages. The center chamber was an estimated 25 feet in diameter and 12 feet high. Each of the fuselages was thought to be about 75 feet long, seven feet high and eight feet wide.
The UFO appeared to be hovering somewhere between the Winfrith Atomic Station and the Portland Underwater Defence Station “and about a mile inland from the USAF Communications Unit at Ringstead Bay.”
At 11:47 a.m., the craft flew to the east-northeast and disappeared.
Brooks said that, on future visits to the area, his Alsatian dog appeared nervous. The animal died of “acute cystitis” (a disorder of the urinary bladder) about six weeks later.
The Official Attitude
The witness reported the incident to the Ministry of Defence in London and received an official reply from L. W. Akhurst, who investigated the sighting.
“We do not doubt that the experience which you have described was a very vivid one, nor have we overlooked your long association with aviation,” Akhurst wrote. “However, we are unable to agree with your conclusion that you saw a controlled flying vehicle of unique design and performance.”
The Ministry official went on to expound a theory that Brooks, who experienced “some years ago” a corneal transplant as a result of an eye injury, actually saw “a vitreous floater—a piece of loose matter (a dead cell) floating in the fluid of the eyeball.” These floaters, Akhurst said, sometimes appear as rods or discs and can be more pronounced by a corneal transplant.
“However,” Akhurst added, “it is unlikely that the floater would have remained stationary for as long as 22 minutes.”
The London official further stated that the recent UFO publicity and the floater could have triggered a dream state while Brooks was resting.
Brooks responded that his eye doctor informed him that the eye muscle “moves upwards and downwards and, as the craft entered the vision circle at 30 degrees, moved across descending to center of vision, hovered for 22 minutes, then exited vision circle at 320 degrees, this hardly conforms” with Akhurst’s theory. The corneal transplant, Brooks said, greatly improved his vision.
“In your conclusion,” Brooks added, “your disadvantage is, of course, that I was there at the time and any Investigation Commission can only work on the credibility of second hand report details combined with technical, medical and scientific assistance, so, with reciprocal respect, your conclusions have not given me cause to alter my opinion of the Moigne Downs UFO.”
Julian J. A. Hennessey, Chairman of NICAP’s European Subcommittee #1, investigated the incident.
Hypotheses
Floater
Against the bright, clean surface, such as against the sky, snow, wall or ceiling person can see a translucent spot, taking the form of "octopus", "spiders", "chromosome", "palm", etc. a Person can dwell on this coincidence: he may seem a dark spot or the silhouette in the room or flying past the point in the sky. Trying to follow that vision gaze, a person cannot "catch" the vision and to consider it in more detail.

The state of sleep and dreams
Sleep is a natural physiological process of stay in a condition with minimal level of brain activity and reduced reaction to the world around us.
