Hovering object over house

Hello. My name is ((name deleted)). I'm a ((deleted)) driver from Polegate.

I had just woken up this morning at about 7am and got out of bed. I went over to the window and peered over to my next door neighbours garden as I frequently do and I saw a very odd shadow on the grass. I could not see what cast it but it was hovering, spherical and moving across. There was an odd humming sound.

Despite my best efforts I could not see the object fully above as it was directly over my house. I did howver manager to make out a grey rum of whatever it was. It was a durable looking material that must have been metal although seemed to be different to what I've seen before. It's hard to describe but it seemed a cross between metal, plastic and foam.

It was extremly low and probably about the size of a small car. It was definitely hovering at what I'd say was about 20 ft above my house roof.

One of the things I remember most was an odd irritating heat sensation that seemed to come over me like a hot flush. Being inside in a cool envirnonment meant that whatever it was wasnt affecting the temperature of the environment but just my body. It was I'm afraid to say quite frightening for myself.

I called up my son ((name deleted))' to come and try to see the object and he looked out of his window which is at the front of the house. He, too, saw the shadow and recognised that it was a hovering craft.

I dashed over to the phone and tried to call a neighbour that lives near us to see if he could see the obkject as he could view it as it wasnt directly above his house but as I did the object seemed to rise and the shadow with it. The humming dissapeared and the hot sensation left. This craft had a helicopter movement, even better than that but was far too small and quiet for it.

I haven't a clue what it was or what it was doing and I'd much appreciate your help.

Best Wishes.
