D - U - F - 0 - R - 0 (Devon UFO Research Organisation) Ref: Case No 933 Tel: 26th May 1993 ~Air Staff) Ministry Of Defence Main Building Whitehall London SW1A 2HB 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. /2
