.. . [REDACTION ON ORIGINAL DOCUMENT J (5) In all the reports received, there was no mention of any noise being associated with the lights I object, in fact the reverse appears to be the case, i.e. complete silence! .. ·~:;~;r;t~~~.·~~~.:: "":" ·;:;·;.:~ ~.>·::~£,. ~;;·_;:~ . Whilst collating all these reports, I also received some reports concerning bright lights flying in formation aad hovering over Bridgewater and Bishops Lydiard between 9pm and lOpm on the evening of 30th March 1993. I also received one report, again from a police officer, who was off duty and with some Scouts UJ? on the Quantock Hills at about 9pm on the 30th. He reports seeing a large object flying in from the north, fairly low and said it resembled 'two concord aircraft fixed together' and covered in a number of white bright lights. Obviously this could not have been two 'Concords' but its not a bad description in comparison with the 'Elvers' description at 2am i.e. a large 'Catamaran'. Since these reports I have received three more, only these have come from St Ives, Cornwall. again two very bright lights are reported flying parallel to ea_ch other and very hi6h in the sky. This is some twenty minutes later than the earlier sightings on the 31st and indicates that the objects or objects were seen over the West Country and Wales, on at least three separate occasions i.e. 1.10am, 1.30am and 2am. From the general description given, it would appear that the object seen was about 500' in width, carrying two very bright light sources at its outer edges with a number of smaller lights surrounding its main body. It left a tail of light, something like a vapour trail, only illuminated or lit up. /6 ··.", L .--~Y"!'"",...,.-~ ~. ••
