very large bright white lights approaching from the north,
across the Bristol Channel. He estimated their height to be
about 2,000'. As the lights passed ov~rhead, both officers
discerned a structure between the lights and estimated that an
object some 500' wide with lights o~ either side had passed
over their heads at low altitude! They s~bsequently logged a
report of this event with their headquarters.
After this call, I contacted the Plymouth police and was
informed that they had received a call, about l.lOana, froni a
5entleman who reported seein5 two very bright lights, flying
fairly hi5h over Stoke (Plymouth) and proceeding in a
S.Easterly direction. Because of the time of night and the
improbability of what the person was reporting, this report was
not officially logged.
Later in the day, I contacted the. police at Merthyr Tydfil
(South Wales) and after some delay obtained the names of two
police officers stationed at Treharris Police Station who had
also reported seeing two very bright white objects/lights
flying across South Wales and heading across the Bristol
Channel. Their report was also timed at about l.lOam.
That evening I contacted the Exeter Police and was given the
names of three police officers who had earlier reported a
sighting. These proved to be a Sgt f>C -and PC
All three officers had been on duty in Paul
Street, Exeter, when they observed two very bright objects
flying parallel to each other and on an Easterly course over
the city.
