The Bat Beast of Kent 1963

The Bat Beast of Kent sighting was an extraterrestrial sighting that took place on the evening of November 16, 1963 on Sandling Road in the county of Kent. The two witnesses 17-year-old John Flaxton and 18-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson. The two witnesses were walking home from a party with several other friends when they noticed a large, glowing orb hovering high in the air. The unusual, self illuminated, ovoid object, which was described as being just a few meters in diameter, hovered above a field. It eventually made its way behind the trees and settled into the foliage of the woods at Sandling Park.
