They seemed to move in an arc over his position and disappeared
to the south. At their highest point, about *10,000' 2 vapour
like trails appeared behind each object and they appeared to
be self luminous. * This height is based on information
obtained from the control tower at Exeter Airport later that
day.
At the end of his report·, Sgt informed me that several
other police officers had made similar reports to their
operations room at Exeter.
Shortly after this call, I contacted the Ops. Room at Exeter
and was told that they had received a number of reports, all
from police officers on duty within the counties of Cornwall
and Devon. They also said that 2 other officers of the Gwent
Police Force, had also logged a similar report.
In total I was given the names and contact addresses of 11
officers. In addition I was informed that 2 other officers who
were on a special surveillance operation somewhere in East
Devon,had also reported something very similar. unfortunately,
I was unable to obtain these olficers names and can do no more
than note their sightings.
During that day, I managed to contact (by phone) all the
officers concerned and after taking details of their sightings
and with their permission despatched each a copy of our UFO
report forms for completion and return.
* Strangely, to date I have only received back 3 completed sets
of forms and what is even more puzzling, is the fact that all
of these have been from police sergeants - ~ from police
constables! Whether there is a particular reason for this
remains to be seen, but· it does seem a bit odd to say the
least.
