Just for the record, on the first occasion i was walking back to the station after an incredibly tedious work meeting and was not at all, erm... "enhanced" (mores the pity).
Second occasion, was having dinner at home and yes a modest amount of red wine was involved but not nearly enough to get me and Mrs Carpy hallucinating. I bloody well did have a couple of stiff ones after this thing came over, though.
First one was in central London, in broad daylight and must have been seen by thousands. Apparently not. I thought it was a meteor and rushed home expecting it to be all over the news. It was heading along the Thames and I expected it might have hit a large building or something. It didn't. Afterwards i realised that it was not coming down or losing altitude. It was "flying" along, fairly slowly. So was the second.
I have no explanation and I am not making this up!

Yes. I never thought of that though at the time. But:
"Hello? Officer? I'd like to report my sighting of a burning flying log type thing flying down the Thames yesterday heading in the direction of Putney"
Officer "We've got a right one here Sarge...."

Yes. I simply did not think about that, though. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Don't worry - I'll be sure to do that if there is a next time. Also, I will be sure to take a blurry indistinct out of focus video on my rubbish phone. That seems to be compulsory now, too.
