Same characteristics as before Fixed bright white single light to SE (cardinal estimated using St Botolph 's spire as reference) 40-45 degrees elevation. Lights still 'quite bright and flashing bearing SSE and 30-50 degrees above horizon. Lights moved to SSE, 60 degrees elevation, same fixed bright white stable light. As above: Azimuth still 345 and 160 degrees, Elevation 20 Or 30 degrees. Lights still in same place. C-4 Assume azimuth 135 degrees +or- 15120; elevation 40 degrees +or- 10115. Assume elevation 40 degrees +or-10; Assume azimuth 135 + or-10/15? Assume elevation 60 +or-10115 degrees, Azimuth 157 +or-10115 say between 140 and 170 degrees. Unreliable observation for exact coords.
