{Devon UFO Research Organisation}
Case Name - 'Westcountry I Wales Sightings - 31st March 1993'
Introduction
At 2.20am on the morning of 31st March 1993, I received phone
call from Sgt J of the Devon & Cornwall Police Force
informing me that at 1.10am he had observed 2 very bright white
objects hovering at approximately 2,000' north of his position,
S.E. of Liskeard on the A38. He had been notified of the
objects presence in the area, by two other Police Officers,
P.Cs an These officers were travelling
out of Liskeard in a north westerly direction and had
themselves observed the two objects approaching from the N.E •
.
Sgt watched the objects for a few seconds before they
started to ascend fairly quickly and moved S.E. in an arc to a
height of about 10,000' towards Torpoint, Plymouth, Devon.
Following this report, I contacted the Police Control
Headquarters at Exeter, Devon and was informed by an officer on
duty that they had received a number of similar reports from
other Police Officers in Ilracombe, Plymouth and East Devon.
They also mentioned a report from the South Wales Gwent Police.
Acting on this information, I telephoned the police station at
Ilfracombe, (Nth Devon) and spoke to a Sgt lllllllllwho
informed me that at approximately 1.10am whilst driving down
into Lynton, with another officer(P.C. they saw two
