Then there is the collection of sightings you kindly gave me
covering Avon, Shropshire and South Yorkshire up to 2.40am on
the 31st - it certainly was a busy night for something.
At the moment I am busy putting together • 16 page repo~t on
these events and once completed will despatch it to the
appropriate authorities - you will of course receive a copy.
However, before finalising this report, I wondered if you had
been able to obtain any information re: the two fighter
aircraft seen over Devon at 1.30am on the 31st or the 3
helicopters seen over and around Bridgewater at 1.30am also on
the 31st.
Could I please ask if you could once again check your records
and ascertain, if possible, what they were doing! I realise
this may be difficult, but I do honestly believe that they have
a bearing on this case.
Once again, many thanks for your help to date and do hope I,m
not causing you any undue trouble or inconvenience.
Kind regards
