Amorphous

Strange sighting by a couple in Shropshire, UK.
While driving along the A5, they saw something like:

“This shape was about 1ft wide by 3ft or 4ft long. It quickly glided up the side of the hedges, over the top and curled around a wide tree.

“Our initial thoughts were that it was a white fox because of the shape and size but the movement was too fast, it came off the ground and the movement was not animal-like.” They added: “The shape was also a solid white mass with no definable features of legs or tails or wings.”

What intrigues me about these reports is that they just don't fit into any categories. UFO? Cryptozoology? No.
Parallel realities? And what's with the shapelessness? Nothing except single cell organisms are shapeless on Earth, and we kind of expect the same to apply elsewhere..
This intrigues me not only because there is such a hotspot nearby where I live (Mount Pendeli), but because I have actually seen such a creature (or that's what I think). In a road famous for it's Mothman-like creature sightings and anti-gravity phenomena, a white shapeless mass in the side of the road moving quickly out of the headlights range is no small thing. But what can one do? Stop the car?
Yeah, right. The fear is all instinct, and the tingly feeling on the back of your neck that makes your hair stand upright is no thing to laugh at.
Yes, it could have been a fox combined with my tired eyes, but those hairs in the back of my neck tell me that was not the case..
