At this point in the investigation, Sunday 11th April 1993, I
have now despatched 33 report forms to all the 'sighters' and
once returned will hopefully be able to plot at least the
1.10am flight path of the object and provide a better
description of its form, structure and performance. I will also
have a better picture of the 1.30am St Ives, Cornwall and 2am
Bridgewater, Somerset events.
As a matter of interest, two of my reports concerned the
presence of two 'Jet fighters' flying in from the East. one
behind the other, and across Devon at 1.30am on the 31st. One
report came from a retired airline pilot living in East Devon
who gave the altitude of the jets as 20,000' and their speed as
1,500mph. He also said they were in a hurry and had their
'after burners' on! This report was later corroborated by a
second report from a gentlemen living in Wellington, Somerset.
My efforts to confirm the presence of these aircraft with SEC
(AS) 2A at the MOD (AIR) was not successful. From their records
~ military aircraft were airborne at this time over Devon and
are therefore unknown to anybody at this time!
I also received two reports of three military type helicopters
flying in a radius of Bridgewater between 1.30am and 2am on the
31st. Both reporters are adamant that the helicopters were
military - probably 'Sea Kings'? but again MOO (AIR) were
unable to confirm their presence in the area. Hy information is
that these Helicopters were on a search operation of some kind
or another and that at one stage 'red flares' were seen due
south of Bridgewater.
