They estimated the elevation of the objects to be 40 degrees to the horizon at a distance of between 1,000' and 2,000'. This is obviously at variance to I the other reports, but would seem to substantiate Sgt time s.w. of their position and mode N.W. of hid position. this report who was at the same saw the objects in a stationary suggests that both the Sgts sighting are in many respects different to the others and indicate that their objects were extremely low and appeared to have the ability to stop and hover! I personally have no doubts about their sightings, because, as whereas some people may have difficulty in judging objects at great height, I hardly think these officers could be mistaken in their judgements - 2,000' is one thing, but anywhere between 10,000' and 80kms is another. It is therefore my considered opinion that these two sightings sightings are of different to that of the re-entry rocket and may be associated with certain \ other events that took place later in the morning, at 2.00am and indeed the previous evening between 8.00pm and 11.00pm over Nth devon. Most of these reports were received following the publication of some news articles in two local papers. (Honiton News & Somerset Gazette) The articles did not specify the type of objects seen or the time. As a result I received a large number of phone calls from members of the public and another police officer, this time from Somerset. After evaluating these reports and filing away those which I considered were not relevant to this case, it became apparent that in addition to the initial 1.10am police reports, there were a number which were very similar and did therefore have some association. /6 •
