2 large objects he also noticed a pink and blue light source
but was unable to say if they were attached to the objects or
the smaller one flying close by. From his southerly position
the objects were to the north and not moving very fast. In fact
he had them in sight for at least 2 minutes. this of course is
. I
at variance with the other two sighters at St Ives, who said
their objects were very fast!, but this maybe because they saw
the objects overhead whilst was looking at them from
a distance. It's my belief that this sighting was of the same 2
objects seen over St Ives only from a different location and
therefore different line of sight.
Event 'F' - Ministry of Defence reports 30th/31st March 1993
During the course of this investigation, I received a non Ufo
report from a gentleman (name on file) who is a recently
retired airline pilot. he had phoned me in response to one of
the local newspaper articles and thought he had the answer to
this case? He told me that at·1.30am on Wednesday 31st March
1993, he had observed two Jet Fighter Aircraft travelling at
30,000' in a westerly direction and at a very fast speed -
about 1,500mph. They had their 'after burners' on which
indicated they may still have been climbing! As an airline
pilot he was well qualified to identify these 'jets' and was
also certain that they were of a single engine type. Once I
explained our sightings, ( at this time I only had a number of
l.lOam sightings) it was fairly obvious that his sighting was
not connected to my reports - or was it?
Thanking him for this information, I resolved to contact the
MoD to try and ascertain if they had any knowledge of these
aircraft. The next day I phoned at the MoD (Sec Air)
2a office and relayed my information to him. He was most
helpful and promised to look into it for me - and would ring
