Dear~
2a Room 8245
Firstly, many thanks for your help over the last few weeks, it
really has been appreciated.
Just a quick update on the event~ of 30th/31st March 1993 re:
the sightings here in the Westcountry.
It is almost certain that the majority of the 1.10am sightings
were in fact the re-entry of a Russian second stage rocket that
had put a Cosmos Radio Satellite (2238) into orbit sometime
before midnight.
What we don't know is what the object or objects seen at 1.30am
over St Ives, Cornwall and 2.00am over Bridgewater, Somerset
and indeed the hovering object(s) seen over Nth Devon between
8.00pm and 11.00pm on the 30th!
From the evidence to date, something was most definitely
haunting the sky over Nth Devon on the evening of the 30th and
I have substantiated reports confirming this.
The 2.00am Bridgewater sighting also appears to be genuine and
I can see no reason to doubt it.
