Event 'C' - Bridgewater, Somerset.
On Wednesday 31st March 1993, a group of fishermen (known as
Elvers) were fishing the river Parrot, Nr Bridgewater,
Somerset. At approx 1.30am they noticed 3 military type
helicopters flying in a radius from Bridgewater to Hinkley
. 'Point. This activity was observed for some 30 minutes or so. At
a little before 2.00am the 'elvers' saw two bright orange
coloured lights approaching from the north. As they drew
closer, the 'elvers', who had previously thought they were the
returning helicopters, realised they were not. Firstly there
was the absence of any engine or rotor blade noise and
navigation lights. The objects approached their position at a
steady pace, not over fast, and appeared to be at a height of
about 800'. On their final approach, in addition to the orange
lights seen, two very bright white lights seem to be glowing
from the rear of the objects. As they passed overhead, one of
the elvers thought the objects were joined by
some sort of structure and likened this to a 'Large Catamaran'
As the object(s) cleared their position, two very bright light
sources were seen at the rear of the 'craft' throwing light
beams backwards. These were described a

was the complete absence of any noise, in fact quite the
opposite - deathly silence! the objects proceeded on a south
easterly course towards Dorset and were in view for 2 to 3
minutes before disappearing.

not returned his report form and this I believe is because he
has difficulty in writing - (don't we all!). and therefore feel
it best not to persue the matter any further.
