In all the reports received, there was no mention of any noise
being associated with the lights I object, in fact the reverse
appears to be the case, i.e. complete silence!
Whilst collating all these reports, I also received some
reports concerning bright lights flying in formation and
hovering over Bridgewater and Bishops Lydiard between 9pm and
lOpm on the evening of 30th March 1993. I also received one
report, again from a police officer, who was off duty and with
some Scouts Up on the Quantock Hills at about 9pm on the 30th.
He reports seeing a large object flying in from the north,
fairly low and said it resembled 'two concord aircraft fixed
together' and covered in a number of white bright lights.
Obviously this could not have been two 'Concords' but its not a
bad description in comparison with the 'Elvers' description at
2am i.e. a large 'Catamaran'.
Since these reports I have received three more, only these have
come from St Ives, Cornwall. again two very bright lights are
reported flying parallel to ea~h other and very high in the
sky. This is some twenty minutes later than the earlier
sightings on the 31st and indicates that the objects or objects
were seen over the West Country and Wales, on at least three
separate occasions i.e. l.lOarn, 1.30am and 2am.
From the general description given, it would appear that the
object seen was about 500' in width, carrying two very bright
light sources at its outer edges with a number of smaller
lights surrounding its main body. It left a tail of light,
something like a vapour trail, only illuminated or lit up.
