Real Fairy; AGAIN!

As most readers will know by now... After 2 now 3 encounters with fairies, I firmly believe. It started with what I captured on my video and I stand-by it, unless someone can tell me 100% what I have seen. I think ,a real fairy.
NOW, the story unexpectedly deepens... On the drive back from our most recent investigation, gosh I was tired... it was about 0300 and Barry and I stopped for coffee at a brightly lit filling station on the A303...
Nothing remarkable, a very normal type of station with the lights high up in the canopy. It was a damp night and you could feel the moisture in the air, kind of just hanging. In the background was the hum of a generator and the occasional sounds of cars passing by. We had just got the coffees... a flat white and a latte, and then we were spellbound by movement...
Below the canopy lights, something moved. Not drifting. Not fluttering randomly like a moth caught in artificial glow. No, this creature was flying, although there was a fine thread which made it appear attached or suspended. The creature was flying and rose up striking the canopy, it orbited the pumps and then vanished.
I did make the assumption that I was alone in seeing it. Yet when I turned, Barry was already staring at the exact point where it had disappeared. No prompt. No suggestion. We both described it the same way.
We were both quite excited because, it looked exactly like the form we captured at the Trooper Inn, a creature that we still can not identify. We do know that it isn't 'normal'.
"Here is an ai image, combining a photo of the station and also the image of the fairy. It is as close to what we saw as we could get it."
Naturally, rational explanations must come first. Insects behave strangely in artificial light. Air currents around canopy roofs can create unusual flight paths. Human perception is prone to pattern recognition, especially when primed by prior experience. However, folklore adds another layer.
In Celtic and British tradition, fair folk were not always tied to a single place. They were sometimes said to follow individuals who were:
'Open' or sensitive to unseen realms.
Standing at threshold moments in life, transition, emotional intensity.
Marked... knowingly or unknowingly, by previous encounters.
Some traditions suggest that fairy-like entities attach themselves not out of malice, but curiosity, drawn to heightened human awareness of energy. Stories suggest of guardian spirits, ancestral guides, or elemental beings that shadow travellers, particularly those who move between worlds, and what is paranormal investigation if not that?
More cautionary folklore, of course, warns that repeated sightings could indicate something testing boundaries or seeking attention.
So which is it?
Following? Guarding? Coincidence? Separate phenomena that simply resemble each other?
Two observers.
Three locations.
Independent confirmation.
Identical visual description.
I am not suggesting significant fairy activity and believe me, nor am I spinning a yarn... However, folklore reminds us that not every phenomenon is location-bound. Sometimes, it is the traveller who becomes the point of interest.
How exciting and wonderful!
