At approx 10.30pm, Mr
standing outside his.home at
Bishops Lydeard ~hen he noticed a brightly lit object
approaching from the south.
object as ab?ut the size of
lights numbering 30 in all.
At arms length he describes the
a Zippo Lighter and had 6 rows of
I
They were in two sections of 15
5 lights in each.
The objects speed was similar to a jet aircraft and appeared to
be at a high altitude. Because of this Mr- had the
object in sight for nearly 15 minutes before it disappeared to
the north. Some 5 minutes after the event Mrllllllllobserved a
civil airliner on the same course_at approx the same altitude
and he was able to identify this without any problem.
The 5th report came from Mr who lives in Taunton,
Somerset. At approx 10.20pm ( maybe a bit later) he observed 2
white lights, apparently connected, flying parallel to each
other in an easterly direction. Again there was no noise from
the objects and they appeared to be moving very fast. He gave
the length of his sighting as 2 minutes and is convinced it
/they was not an aircraft.
The 6th and last report for this evening, came from Mr
tlllla who lives at Milverton, Devon. At sometime before
midnight - about 11.30pm, he saw 2 groups of lights flying
along side each other. He describes them as 2 objects with 3
lights in a triangular formation. He says that they were moving
very fast and watched them for 2 minutes before they
disappeared in a south westerly direction.
