Introduction
On Wednesday th~ 31st March 1993, at a prox 2.20am, I received
a telephone call from Sgt J. f the Devon & Cornwall
Police Force. He is stationed at Bodmin, Cornwall and was
reporting an incident that had occurred at 1.10am that morning
whilst on duty near Liskeard. Briefly he reported that at
1.10am, whilst driving towards Dobwalls on the A38, he noticed
2 very bright lights of obJects hovering at about 2,000' above
the N.W. Horizon. Knowing the night sky fairly well he
immediately realised that 'they' were not stars and did not
conform to any known aircraft or their navigation lights.
At this point he stopped his patrol car and got out. he watched
the objects for a few seconds and was amazed to see them
suddenly start to ascend at a fairly fast rate of knots.
