,. ~~ ,J • \REDACTION ON ORIGINAL DOCUMENf\. (12) He likened them to golf balls, two at the top with the other oo immediately below ( o ). From the lowest object a light beam seemed to be s~ining down at an angle of about 45 degrees. Mr ~ept the objects in view for a little over 3 hours. During this time his daughter~ad also been out to see ·. t the objects and has confirmed the sighting. · At this point I think it is worth pointing out that from the evidence the object ( s) seen by Mrs - and that by Mr- are probably one and the same. The direction is right i.e.N.W. an~ although Mrs- feels the object(s) were over Bishops Lydeard I think in this she could be mistaken and that they were a bit further away towards the N.W. The third report came from P.C. ~who is stationed at Bishops Lydeard. His report (by phone) was as follows: At approx 9.00pm he was up on the Quantock Hills, Nth Somerset, with a grou~ of Scouts carrying out some field exercises, when his attention was drawn to a series of bright lights approaching from the north west. They appeared to be at a height of about 3,000' and travelling at a constant speed, but not over fast! As the lights got closer he made out the outline of a large craft, which he said "looked like two Concords flying side by side and joined together". the lights he had seen appeared to be around the object(s) and were similar to cabin lights on an aircraft, only much brighter. the object passed to his left and after 2 or 3 minutes was lost to sight as it proceeded on a south easterly course. Strangely, as with the other P.Cs, despite agreeing to complete a report form, this has never been returned - I wonder why? (13)
