Investigation
Event 'A' Innis, Ireland.
- : .
This event occurred at l.OSam on Wednesday 31st March 1993 over
Innis, Ireland, when 2 bright lights were observed traversing
. I
the sky. It is believed that they were seen at high altitude,
displaying white vapour trails. they appeared to be flying
parallel to each other, on a N.W. to S.E. course. Evidently
this sighting caused some concern to the Irish Government and
as a consequence a fighter aircraft was despatched to monitor
the objects. It seems the operation was not successful as the
objects were thought to have been travelling at about 3,000mph
- obviously to fast for the jets. The full details of this
sighting are not yet to hand, but it is thought to be basically
correct.
As with the 1.10am police reports and some of the other l.lOam
reports, this sighting is also believed to be result of the
previously mention rocket re-entry, but more of that later!

Event 'B' - Wales, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.
At various time between l.lOam and 1.17am on Wednesday 31st
March 1993, 12 people (excluding the original 11 police
officers) reported the sighting of two very bright objects
flying across the night sky in a south easterly direction. With
the exception of one, they all report seeing some sort of
vapour trails, but describe ~hem slightly differently! In the
main they were white, and trailed back from the objects and
appeared to be se~f luminous.
