I'm into astonomy too, and I know the difference between a planet and a star, or a satellite and a plane, yet I've seen things I can't explain over the Avebury landscape late at night.

The most amazing thing was a 'vibrating' star over Alton Barnes two years ago. I've also seen the 'amber gambler' from the Cove in Avebury.

Jeez, there's even a 'golden ball hill' right by Alton Barnes. I think this stuff's been going on years.

I'm not saying I belive it's any one thing, I'm just saying I've seen strange lights is all.

Where astronomy is concerned I'm a complete novice but love looking at the night sky; the first time I witnessed the stars at Avebury one frosty winter's night it was completely mind-blowing. I use that metaphor deliberately, I have never forgotten it - it was like I had had a veil lifted from my perception and vision and no, I wasn't 'on' anything.

I don't have a car so am unable to visit Avebury at night very often but a couple of weeks ago I attended the Avebury Open Mic night with some friends. When we came out at about 11.00pm I noticed the same 'stars phenomenon' again - as we walked to the car (which was parked near the Henge shop) there was one very bright star/planet that seemed far bigger and brighter than anything I had ever witnessed before.
