One other interesting point that I noted during conversation
with was this. During the early hours,
somewhere between midnight and l.OOam, the cows occupying an
adjacent field appeared to be very restless, which I am told
was very unusual. Just after their sighting,-' -and
. I
their wives, were astonished to see all the cows had
congregated in the middle of the field. They were all facing
each other in a circular formation and had gone very quiet!
This is also I'm told very unusual.
Event •n• - Nth Devon and Somerset.
During the evening of Tuesday 30th March 1993, 6 independent
witnesses reported an object or o?jects flying over and or
hovering over Somerset and Nth Devon.
The first sighting occurred at 9.00pm, when
observed two glowing white/orange objects hovering north west
of her position. At the time s~e was travelling from her home
at Kington-St-Mary, Somerset, towards Bishops Lydeard and
thought they were somewhere above or just beyond the town. They
remained stationary for some 2 or 3 minutes, were very silent
and Mrslllllfgot the feeling that 'something was going to
happen' as everything seemed to have gone very quiet.! She
eventually lost sight of the objects behind some clouds.
Meanwhile, local business man, who lives at
Crowcombe Heathfield, Nr Lydeard-St-Lawrence, Somerset, - just
north of Bishops Lydeard, had gone out into his garden to feed
his fish. It was about 8.00pm and on looking up observed a
triangular formation of 3 objects approx 5 miles north west of
his home. They were brightly lit (self luminous) and each
object was larger. than a star.
