Four "flying sensors" were seen by Constable Kearsey's wife just before his arrival home at approx 11:30, on 9th of July. A Mr. John Jackson, a resident of St. John's and a friend of the family also witnessed them. They were flying in an easterly direction, and appeared to be four round figures that had passed overhead at terrific speed, flying side by side.

On looking skyward, Constable Kearsey, himself, perceived a huge jelly-fish flash across the sky. Could not determine the height and speed owing to the brief period it was visible. Could not determine color but there seemed to be a phosphorescent glow about it. It was found in shape and about the size of a barrel head, and appeared to be flying in a rocking motion.

Note: The last object was seen by Constable Kearsey, his wife and Mr. Jackson.
