From the original phone reports and the returned report forms a
fairly comprehensive picture of the nights events soon became
apparent.
*At appendix 'A' to this report is a summary of these reports,
coupled with others received from members of the public during
the course of the investigation. l.
What emerged from these reports,( with the exception of Sgt
Liskeard) and Sgt (Lynton) was that they all
virtually told the same story - this is as follows:
The time is 1.10am on the 31st March 1993, and a number of
police officers on duty within Devon & Cornwall, observed 2
very bright white lights or objects, traversing the sky from
the N.W. to the S.E., and at a high altitude. All report seeing
some sort of vapour trails behind and staying with the objects.
Most had problems in describing these 'trails' but most thought
they were self luminous or lit by some light source from the
objects. What is certain is that they were not the usual vapour
trails associated with high flying conventional aircraft; Most
reported the objects as fairly fast - somewhat faster than a
Jet aircraft. In addition all reported that the objects were
completely silent.
As stated earlier all the reports are very similar, given due
regard to these officers knowledge or otherwise of the night
sky and their abilities to judge the height or speed of objects
traversing it. This is not doubting these officers truthfulness
or their observation powers, but I do think it's a case of
'horses for courses'. Objects in the night sky, as we all know,
can be very deceptive and this is particular so when uncommon
phenomenon such as decaying space hardware is concerned.
