3, 9.
In a letter published in the Warminster Journal (June 4, 1965), amateur
geologist and naturalist David Holton wrote that recorded instances of
phenomenon consisting of pe:-sistent "whirrings," humming sounds, and
vibrations of several degrees of intensity were occurring at places which when
linked, formed "straight lines" on the map and that three of these lines
passed through Warminster (England) itself. He also told how a number of
witnesses to whom he had spoken about the noise also had fleeting glimpses
of a luminous object overhead.
