Julian Garside was driving home from work on a friend's motorcycle when two young men saw 3 bright triangular lights or figures gliding uphill through the woods by the road. They stopped and decided to follow them out of curiosity. 

The figures sped up, and the boys noticed the smell of burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter of a mile from the road, the figures disappeared. Above them, however, they saw a small round orange light, like a beacon, crossing the road. He disappeared about a minute later. 

There was no path through the forest, and three objects (or figures) seemed to glide right through the undergrowth, leaving no tracks. The only trace left was the smell of oil.

Summary: Julian Garside was riding home from work on a friend’s motorbike when the two young men saw 3 bright triangular lights, or shapes, gliding uphill through the woods near the road. They stopped and, out of curiosity, decided to follow. The shapes speeded up and the boys noticed an odor like burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter mile from the road, the figures had vanished; above them, however, they observed a small, round orange light, like a road crossing beacon. It vanished in about a minute. There had been no path through the woods, and the three objects (or figures) appeared to glide straight through the undergrowth, leaving no traces. The odor of oil was the only trace left behind.
