On Thursday 1st April 1993, I received
at the British
name, address and telephone number of
from Pentregalar, Dyfed, who had also seen the two very bright
lights in flight across a.W.Wales at l.lOam on Wednesday 31st
Narch 1993.
At this point, I now had some seven or eight reports, mostly
police officers, who had all observed two very bright white
lights or objects, travelling across the ni~ht sky from
approximately N.W to S.E. in complete silence and trailing some
form of illuminated vapour trail behind them I it! What was
noticeable about these sightings, was that all the persons I
spoke too had great difficulty in describing the 'trails' and
used the term vapour as a simply means of doing so. What was
also noted was the fact that whatever it was that was trailing
behind the objects, it was 'illuminated' or 'lit up' by some
means or other. One person described them as 'like car head
light beams shining backwards, another thought they looked like
long thin fluorescent light tubes!
Because of the extraordinary similarity between the reports, it
was obvious to me that at approximately l.lOam on the morning
of the 31st March 1993, an object of enormous size had crossed
N.W.Wales, S.Wales, N.Oevon, Cornwall and E. Devon. During its
flight it had descended from a gceat height over N.W.Wales to
about 2,000' above the Bristol Channel and hovered at the same
height north of Liskeard. from there it ascended to
approximately 10,000' over Plymouth and subsequently E. Devon.
From here I felt sure it must have travelled further east or
south easterly and decided therefore to try and obtain some
additional sightings by use of the local press. I contacted the
~aunton Gazette and Honiton News, both weekly papers and gave
them some details of the events of Wednesday 31st.
