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.
